WUTA / Stitching Irons & Groovers
WUTA Obverse 3.38 mm Twenty-Tooth French Iron
A fixed 3.38 mm obverse French iron with twenty teeth, offered as one DC53 steel tool.
CHOOSE THE TOOL FOR YOUR WORK
A long fixed layout with twenty working teeth
Choose the twenty-tooth WUTA when the length of a straight stitch layout is the reason to add another iron. The selected tool has twenty teeth at 3.38 mm spacing with obverse alignment. That is a different working arrangement from a two-tooth adjustable iron or a two/eight-tooth pair, without making it a better choice for every corner or curve.
The seller describes DC53 cold-work die steel, polishing from handle to prongs and an overall length of 116 mm. The handle is listed at 13 mm wide and 8.2 mm thick; prongs are stated as 9.8 mm long with 0.2 mm lips. None of those measurements is a depth stop. A family reference or marking should not be mistaken for the tooth count of the selected twenty-tooth version.
The seller advises soft protective backing such as leather for the sharp thin tips and warns against hard objects. Its 4.5 mm/11 oz leather example is a seller suitability claim, not a universal working limit. Compare the adjustable two-tooth model for short layouts with variable spacing, or the fixed French pair when two and eight teeth better match your work. Keep the 3.38 mm pitch in view when matching an existing seam.

Care & upkeep
Use soft protective material such as leather beneath the sharp thin tips; avoid hard objects, per seller.
Your questions about this product
Does the marking 8 mean eight teeth?
No. The selected version is twenty teeth; the family’s model markings do not replace that count.
Can I adjust the spacing?
This version is fixed at the selected 3.38 mm pitch. Compare the adjustable two-tooth model for a variable range.
What backing guidance is supplied?
The seller advises soft protective material such as leather under the thin tips and warns against hard objects.
