When to choose it
Choose this pen if you want to work on a small motif and change the working width as you go. Clover suggests a single needle for detail, two for outlines and three for a broader patch. That makes it useful when the same design has both narrow lines and small filled areas.
The model offers two needle lengths. Check its instructions before changing the setup, and try the intended fabric on a scrap. Compare the five-needle 8900 if the project is mostly broad appliqué and you want a tool with a moving guard.

Questions about this product
How many needles should I start with on a narrow line?
Clover recommends two for lines and outlines. Try a single needle when the detail is especially small.
Can I use the pen on satin?
The maker advises against using this model on delicate materials such as silk or satin. Test the intended fiber and base fabric on a scrap.
Does this have the same guard as the 8900?
The 8901 pen uses a protective cap. Compare the 8900 if you need its moving and lockable cover.
