This worked really well on a deer hide. Very easy to use.Hint: on the first hole you make, when bringing the string through, make sure the end is long enough to go the entire length of the stitching you're going to do, plus an inch or two.Also, after each stitch, take the time to pull evenly from both sides as you go, it will hold better and look neater.The awl-like form is great because you can pull it against your stomach or push against a table, whatever you need to do to get the force needed. And the needle stays in your control so you don't get stabbed or scratched. Very cool.

Had a few inches of stitching on my pop-up vinyl window come loose and this sewing awl worked great to fix it, also bought the thin needle and thinner waxed thread, since thread it comes with is thicker as was the standard needle. Great tool! Highly recommend!

Works great and simple to use. Gets the job done where my sewing machine can't be used. I would definitely buy again.

I'm re-engineering a pair of moccasins for the 5th time. I'm stitching them instead of lacing them. I think this will work better.

I bought a similar product because it was cheaper and had accessories. It was not well made and had no tension control. So I ordered the Speedy Stitcher and it is much better. I wish I had ordered it originally. The thread is a heavier waxed thread and is better for thick leather.

I bought this to stitch my vinyl window cover into my convertible top. The needle was a bit large. However I was able to easily get through the thick materials and thread the yarn throughout the layers with no problem. Took a while to get used to how to cross stitch correctly however once I get the hang of it, it did the job and I saved myself $300. In fact I lost the needle and a small space and cannot retrieve but I'm glad it came with the backup slightly curved needle and I was able to finish the job.

While it may be the best out there, it certainly has much to be desired.Attached pictures: 1) a diagram of the parts; 2) a neat description of the product; 3) an example of how to use the product in order to get around some of its flaws (failure of the thread to feed properly through the awl); 4) a competitors product that has a design which would appear to solve many of the flaws in this product.The good:1) comfortably fits in the palm of the hand2) firm chuck lock to secure the needle3) thread post is well designed (allowing the needle to slide freely up to the needle)3) good overall ideaThe bad:1) if the "bobin" (string spooler) is filled up too much then the thread will not feed properly, and will bite /sink into the spool of string contained in the bobin. Recommendation: not much can be done about this. This is just a point worth noting as my stitcher was SHIPPED with an overly full bobin.2) the "tension post" (the silver tack around which the string is supposed to wind when coming out of the spool handle) is weak and bends easily. -- for a premium product this should not be the case. Recommendation: upgrade the tension post.3) the "end cap" is way too difficult to remove. I had to use pliars, and in the process damaged it (bent the weak metal). Again for a premium product, this should not be the case. Recommendation: a) smooth the metal edge on the end cap so that it is not abrasive b) attach a braided string or threaded metallic wire to the end cap so that it is easier to remove.4) the hole from which the thread feeds when coming off the bobin gets gouged by the thread. Eventually a cut develops in the wooden handle so that the thread gets caught in it. This is a bad design. The angle of the hole is poorly designed. When the thread feeds from the bottom of the bobin, it creates a very harsh angle from the spool (bobin) to the hole where the thread must exit. Recommendation: This problem can be solved by widening the hole on the inside of the sewing awl handle, and lining it with an epoxy. Personally, after I whittled the hole out (on the inside of the sewing awl) with a knife, that was enough to allow the thread to feed freely.

Purchase this to repair a tear in a caravan awning. The awl is fantastic and has save me a load of money in having to send the awning away for repair. It works like a charm and is very simple to use, providing strong stitches that will last a long time. Amazing simplicity at its best.Please note the standard needle and thread are a little on the thick side so I would suggest purchasing the additional thin needle and thread for thinner fabrics and lighter work such as tents etc.Awesome product and well worth the money.

Un outil solide et pratique. Son utilisation n'est pas évidente au départ (la notice est en anglais), mais une fois que l'on a saisi le principe, c'est un plaisir de coudre avec. La bobine de fil, visible sur la photo, est bien fournie avec.

I needed to fix a couple lawn chairs and knew there must be some sort of tool available, since the chairs would not fit in my sewing machine. After a lengthy Google search, I found this speedy stitcher sewing awl. Thinking it would be a breeze to use, I ordered it and waited until the last possible minute to fix the chairs. Well.....after I failed three times, I watched a youtube video (3 times) and FINALLY caught on. Usually I'm a faster learner, but there was a learning curve here that took time.It was worth the time it took, because I was able to fix the lawn chairs and they are possibly more sturdy now than they were when new. The thread that comes with the sewing awl is heavy duty, waxed thread, and it appears like it will last for the life of the chairs.This awl comes with 2 needles: a straight one, which I used, and one with a curve. Only one spool of thread is included, but I would suggest ordering a back up spool to have on hand in case you run out in the middle of a project.The one drawback are the directions that come in the package. They state the steps to using the sewing awl, but there isn't quite enough development of the steps to make the directions completely clear. Youtube was a great help to me.
