Framingham, MA May 13, 2004 -– Avery Dennison™ Fastener Division, a global leader in the design and manufacture of fastening products, introduces its new Quilter's Choice MicroTach™ basting tool. MicroTach makes the basting process faster and easier than traditional techniques. It also features the smallest tack and needle available on the market.

This durable hand tool, originally designed for high-volume manufacturing, eliminates the need for pins, glue, thread, and large tacks. Its tiny but strong nylon T-End fasteners are ideal for a variety of craft projects, including basting, tacking appliqués, decorating, and more. The fasteners securely hold quilt layers and decorative pieces in place until they are ready for sewing. MicroTach is highly portable, lightweight and ergonomically designed to make basting fast and easy. In use, the small, ultra-fine needle gently spreads the fibers of the fabric to prevent holes. Once in place, the micro fasteners hold tight, yet are easily removed without damaging the fabric. The new MicroTach starter kit features all the tools necessary to make craft work fast and easy, while treating delicate fabrics gently.

Customers will find MicroTach unique because it improves on traditional methods of basting by providing:

·A basting tack that is over 35% smaller than other basting tacks available on the market.
·Tiny micro fasteners that can be sewn over without breaking a sewing machine needle.
·A small, extra-fine needle that helps to prevent damage to fabric.
·The ability to hold materials flush, which prevents puckers or folds.
·Easy micro fasteners that can be removed with a snip or quick pull.
