Easy to pierce, difficult to stitch.
I love the Sew Easy line of products. I use them with the original tool and the circle tool. The ivy piercer pierces the paper quite nicely, but if you are not a stitcher you may have trouble doing the stitching on this one. I found it to be difficult and time consuming, though to be fair I have only used it once and it did get easier as I went along. If you are not familiar with embroidery, this stitch may take some time to master.
