(Print four more of the same slip on the back of this page, or run the page twice.)

What counts as a feature

The stitching. The shape. The size. The closure. The idea. The material choice. The finishing of the edges. Whether it actually holds what it is supposed to hold. How the display card explains it.

Two examples

A useful slip: "Star 1: the whipstitch along the top edge is even all the way across, so nothing will fray. Star 2: the size is exactly right for a phone with a case on it. Step: try a bar tack where the loop joins, because that is where it will pull."

A slip that gets sent back: "It's really cool. I like the color. Nothing to change."
