SewTites are described as “A way to pin when you can’t!” These magnetic “pins” snap together when aligned, making them ideal for sewing thick materials like leather or cork, or pieces that aren’t near an edge (like pockets on bags). SewTites are also great for high-end fabrics, as they won’t leave holes. And because they’re constructed of metal, they don’t risk breaking and can be used for years.
