Cloth Staples

 Staples made of cloth to make mending clothes easier

For anyone who cowers at the sight of a sewing machine, or simply loves stapling, a cloth stapler is the convenient way to bodge together tears in clothing or upholstery without the need for learning complicated stitching and eliminate needle threading anguish.

The stapler would be essentially a tiny manual sewing machine feeding one stitch at a time, or if required staples may be stiff at first like real staples to ensure proper penetration, and gradually soften with use.

       I quite like the idea of stiff staples that soften later - perhaps only in water? But how do you stop the soft staple from pulling out?

       Can that "handheld sewing machine" be opened up like most staplers, to fasten straight into something whose other side is inaccessible?

       Why use mechanics when today we have computerized robotics?

       ^ Funny.   

       Cloth with a fray, is difficult to repair without weaving or knotting as in sewing. Staples can clamp but there goes the softness.

       Well spotted Xenzag!

       [TheBamforth], Not as quick as your, yet to be fully evoked, flexible staples( those sewing tools can be temperamental). The solution awaits somewhere.
