Hi Sandra,

    I was very curious about this and called Multistation in Paris, they
    speak English as well. They explained that mitrailler is the process
    of making small holes or half holes for setting stones or for other
    things. It is done with a small gunlike machine that shoots balls
    that then make the impression in the material. She also said it was
    used in leather work.
