SPEEDY STITCHER AWL Sail Repair Hand Sewing Leather

FREE POSTAGE WORLD WIDE

A sewing awl allows you to sew heavy materials with a lock stitch (like a sewing machine). It is easy to use and you can save hundreds of dollars by making repairs yourself.

The hardest part is figuring out how to thread it, but that is simple too once you know these tips:

1. Use a pair of pliers to remove the bobbin cover. Inside you will find the bobbin fully wound with thread.

2.  Remove the head by unscrewing it. Under the head you will find the two needles.

3.  Thread the straight needle and feed it through the hole inside the bobbin compartment.

4. Feed the thread into the slot in the wood at the head of the awl... then through the hole in the metal cap.

5. Aligned with the hole you just pulled the thread through there is a slot in the metal shaft. Lay the thread in there... screw the head back on loosely. Select the needle you want... place the end without the hole into the jaws of the awl and tighten down the head to secure it.

6. thread the needle and you are ready to sew. If the thread doesn't pull out freely, either the bobbin wasn't replaced properly or the thread came out of the slot in the shaft at the head.

OUR KIT COMES WITH EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS (here's an excerpt)

SEWING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Push the Needle through the material. Determine the thread length for the “seam” to be sewn, plus 3 more inches. Draw that amount of thread out.

2. Draw the full length of that measured Thread through the material where the Needle is resting. See Figure A.

3. Hold the Thread in that position and pull the Needle back through the material. Start it through a second hole. See Figure B.

4. Holding the handle, push the needle through the fabric as far as it will go. Then draw back enough so that the thread forms a loop as shown. See Figure B.

5. Pass all of the thread through this loop. See Figure B.

6. Hold the Thread taut in one hand. Draw the Needle out forming a “lock stitch”.

7. Pull firmly on the Awl and the loose end of the Thread, using the same tension on both.

8. Release more Thread between the Needle and the material before making another stitch. This will allow you to move the Awl back and push in the next hole along your “seam”.

9. Continue these steps until finished with your “seam”.

10. After you have finished, follow this procedure to tie off the thread. On your last stitch, instead of passing thread through the loop, grasp loop and pull out about 3 inches of Thread. Cut thread. Then pull Awl and needle out of material. Now you have 2 ends of thread on same side of material for tying off. Use square knot.
