I’ve been making bags and purses for quite a few years now, and always had to sew a square and X stitches to hold the straps in places, which is a pain to do. Someone in one of my Facebook groups mentioned using rivets instead. What a game changer! So much easier to do, and they look great too! Purchased the tabletop model because it has more room to reach where the rivets need to go. Love it, and am now finding other ways to use rivets as well. Thank you! Now I want to try the metal snaps too! Fun!
