It can drill holes through numerous layers of fabric, indicating button holes, darts, pockets, and other attachment points. This is perfect for use on loosely knit, bulky, or quilted spreads, where a mark is needed, but where a burn mark would be unnecessary.

It leaves identifiable marks on loosely woven, or knit fabrics, where an ordinary drill mark would not be detected. The cloth drill fuses tightly woven synthetic materials, throughout the lay, thereby eliminating distortion in the marker.
