The first shot through wood on its coarse side much faster than any hand-stitched, the second straightened the edges and got into the corners and the third smoothed it off, but was slower. If the wood (tropical hardwood) had been different, a different combo might have worked better.Now to persuade the cat to go hitec - like me, it's resistant.</blockquote>
