Children\'s toys (Spain)
The description below is of an educational toy designed for children aged 3-6:
Consta de 27 plantillas de letras mayúsculas y 10 plantillas de números realizadas en material plástico resistente y suave. Incluyen indicaciones sobre la dirección correcta del trazo a realizar. **Sus fichas guían en la acción de coser** y presentan asociaciones que ayudan a entender cada grafía.
I am fairly certain that the reference here is not to sewing.
Many thanks.

The templates offer guidance for the threading action
Otra opción, interpretando "la acción de coser" como la acción de "enhebrar" los moldes de letras utilizando un cordón.

Comment: "Since the reference is to stencils used by very small children, I think that "coser" is really being used here in the sense of "tracing" the figures, and Cecilia's answer properly captures this intended meaning. Thank you Ceci, and thanks also to Jaime for pointing me in the right direction!"

The templates guide in the sewing action
It will depend what your source actually is, and if it's referring to this same product:
Spanish:
http://www.minilandeducational.com/activity-abc-123/
English:
http://www.minilandeducationalusa.com/activity-abc-123/
If it is the same product...then it actually is a sewing action.

: Though this is not good English. I'd say something like "Each sheet acts as a stitching guide".
