- www.sailrite.co... A sewing awl can be useful for doing repairs on leather and canvas. This Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl Kit comes with: #8 straight needle, #8 curved needle, 30 yard skein of coarse waxed thread, Bobbin of thread, Easy to follow instructions. Order from: www.sailrite.co...
Brief and to the point instead of most uploads of vloggers who just enjoy listening to their own voice. Thanks for the useful info.
Thankyou - My dad used to use this for mending saddles and reins but I never watched him and didn't know how to use it!
Nice video. A great help to a newby on using this tool. Comment however: When you start, and push the needle through the first time, then pull the amount of thread through needed for the project on the back side of the project, there's no need to pull out the same amount of thread on the front side. Just pull out the amount of thread needed for that stitch and repeat for each stitch, until project finished. That way, you don't have a huge loop of thread to contend with while sewing each stitch.
Nice vid. The method described here (where you spool out thread on both sides and find the center) works, but it's a pain for large jobs. There's a lot more line to pull with each stitch and over the course of the repair, the thread that's constantly sitting on the needle gets worn. For large pieces, I find it easier to just make sure that the thread on the "other" side is long enough for the job and just spool out thread as needed on the awl side. That's what the bobbin is for, I think.
I just bought one of these kits and couldn't figure out how it works. Now I'm stitching away on leather. Thank you so much for this video!
Wow, some people have a knack for communicating so effectively. Simple, precise and clear lesson!
+Nation JC - The Co. I am so glad you liked it! Thanks.
This awl is actually not bad. Despite some minor problems, it works well and the thread that comes with it might be the best part. I learned to use it within thirty minutes and I like the results of my first project. I plan to use this awl on a number of other projects within my house and on my boat.
I have one of these. I used it to stitch the spare tire cover on my wife's car about 3 years ago. Still holding without any problems. Makes a very strong stitch.
Awesome!!!
If you just use a needle and thread you are not creating a lock stitch, you are instead pushing the needle all the way through the fabric and then reinserting the needle on the backside of the fabric. Then once you sew to the end point you reverse the process again finishing up the areas that yet do not have a stitch. If you use the Speedy Stitcher you are creating a lock stitch. That means you can finish the stitching with only one pass instead of two passes, which saves 50% of the time.
Thanks for taking the trouble. Used the knowledge to sew my pop-ups awning bag bag to the rubber strip/channel. Two feet took about an hour (mostly because of the awkward working condition of the bottom side. The wax thread provided was perfect - easy to work with. To tie off at the end I used the technique mentioned of working backward a few stitches. Thanks again!
Mike O I am glad this product work out well for you, even it it took a long time!
When your on the finishing stitch (last stitch) insert the needle into the fabric then before you pull the needle out remove the thread from the needle eye (hole) and tie a knot with the opposite thread. Trim the excess away and now your done!
This is a great video and very helpful as are all the videos from Sailrite. Extremely helpful. I have a sewing awl made by C.A. Meyers Co. that I have carried on rafting and hunting trips for well over 30 years. But I never had the need to use it. Getting ready to raft the Grand Canyon and naturally the awl was in my repair kit. Pulled the directions out of the storage in the handle and they disenegrated. I remembered that I had seen a video on Sailrite where they used a sewing awl. And sure enough I found several great videos on the sewing awl. Mine is a little different but functions the same. I also love everything I have purchased from Sailrite and am impressed with the level of customer service. I did a little research and found that the awl I have was first patented in 1903, so I will keep carrying it and maybe someday I will even have the need to use it. And fortunately now, thanks to Sailrite, I know how to use it.
Glad we could help! Have fun on your rafting trip in the Grand Canyon!!!
Dude, I'm going to be 1 sewing mofo as soon as this kit arrives!
Man, Im not sure I can get out of the hammock here in Maui to stitch anything- great vid, better music! Thanks.
Just the instruction vid I was looking for. Very concise with excellent visuals
You covered one thing I couldn't follow with the instructions, so thank you. I too wish I knew how to finish it off, but this was super helpful.
Wonderful!!!
Wow... suggestion... to eliminate the flop... stick a pencil or other longer removable rod in the gap to support material while pushing and pulling... and on the backside feeder thread... insert it into a dull needle to ease in the hole feeding.
Thanks for the tutorial... I was given an old fashioned Awl when a dear friend psssed away... the awl design is different where the thread and needle are. Thanks!! I'll probably watch your video again cuz I'm old and I'll forget!! ♡ Dorothy Harding
thanks for the video, i just fixed a leather couch cushion, the tool works great
Most helpful video of this product on TH-cam
I keep waiting for him to say, "We'll leave the light on for ya."
LOL!
thanks for the post i just ordered one from another company had no idear how it worked but now i do thank you
Thank you, was hoping by watching video my sewing might get done... great job, even stich és too...
Thank you! I found one in my grandparents' things and I couldn't figure out how the stitch worked. :D
You are welcome!
Thanks for the quick and clear directions.
Very good instructional...I've had one of these awls for some time and had yet to learn how to use it, as the instructions included were lost. Now if I can only remember where I put that awl....thanks much.
+dirtridermag44 You got jokes!
I bought `1 of these many years ago....I'm just using it now,to hem up my son's blue jeans.
Thank you very much....its kind of hard getting started....at least for me....lol!
this is flipping wizardry!
I need this!!!
Great video.
Clear. Concise. To the point (no pun intended).
Thank you.
+Mike G Thanks!!!
Concise, simple video. Thanks 😊
Good demonstration, but left out how to finish the stitching (end tie off).
exactly

this shows you
I made a simple spray hood using Sunbrella for my sailing dinghy using the Speedy Stitcher, including vinyl windows.
Excellent!!!
Great video. I've been wondering how to use those hand awls and now I know. :)
Very informative. I'm guessing this will work fine on thin leather as well.
+Just Ben Yes it will!
Great little item to use!! Love'it!!!
Wow! thanks! Looks very easy.
why is this video oddly relaxing
Nice demo, thank you!
You are welcome!!!
Good explanation. Very clear.
But how do you secure the end so that it doesn't unravel.
Noob question I know.
I wondered how these things worked....I was hemming blue jean shorts today, and it takes forever by hand. Having screwed up my sewing machine timing in the past doing two or three layers of denim, I didn't want to use the machine this time... This seem like it would be faster.....
Thanks for the instructions
I want to thank you for that video.
nice video but it would of been nice to know how to tie it off!
I need this. Now. Like, right now.
You can order is here: www.sailrite.com/Speedy-Stitcher-Sewing-Awl-Kit
Great video. Thanks
What is the advantage of the curved needle? Is there things it does better than just the straight course thread needle?
I use mine constantly and love it. I just purchased the #4 needle and fine thread. Have you ever used it ? And if so, do you like it as much ? i just find sometimes the needle leaves a bigger hole in some projects I work on. Video well done !
Yes, I have used the #4 needle with V-92 and V-138 thread and love using it. It makes a small hole and the thread size is not as large.
I can think of a few reasons...like fixing damaged gear on the road?
this tool is used on heavy fabric and leather which is to tuff to do by pushing a needle with your finger
Great tool and vidio
My friend "AIII donti ispiqui inglis" mas traga sua máquina de costura e venham refazer algumas velas, quiçá alguns mastros de fibra carbono e outros consertos que dominas ,aqui está crescendo e falta o especialista !
Music made me want to do the hula dance..lol
he heredado uno de mi tía abuela, de esos que vendían en cajitas de carton de colores verde y amarillo con fuente e ilustracion en color café. El proposito del producto no ha cambiado nada en mucho tiempo...
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. Yours looks so neat and tidy...mine looks like Frankenstein stitches...
I like yours better. :)
Thanks, it takes a little practice, you can do it.
good instrucions! thanks
Thank you!
How do you sew a "blind" stitch, such as when you want to put a patch on a jacket and you don't want to remove or sew it to the liner?
Dang...I have one lying around for a year cause I didn't know how to use it. Good thing theres youtube.
Oh I think I could do this!
How well would this work on convertible top headliners? seeing how the headliner see's a lot of tension when the top is folded down etc.
how do you tie it off at the end?
When your on the finishing stitch (last stitch) insert the needle into the fabric then before you pull the needle out remove the thread from the needle eye (hole) and tie a knot with the opposite thread. Trim the excess away and now your done!
Would this work with heavy duty tent canvas, as i am building myself a tent, a need to stitch multiple layers of canvas together.
Thanks. For your fast video.
I just bought one & could not.
See the instructions. The copy. Was NOoooo...( bueno )
Good
If all vids i see just do like u go 2 The point .
Definitely agree with everyone, this video is well done. Sometimes using things like this seem more complicated than they really are and make you feel like a dumbass for not being able to figure it out.
Very informative, and the price is right, too! #ProTip #ChristmasGiftIdeas #StockingStuffers
Simple ways of awl speedy stitcher?
thanks for posting, is this music from Zamfir ?
Why do you need to go to half way? Isn't the bobbin holding the thread needed for the top half?
You are correct, you can simply pull more thread out from the bobbin area as you sew. I just like to have it ready for stitching in advance.
@@SailriteDIY Cool, I need to redo the stitching on my pickup tonneau cover and the 7 feet hanging out for the back would be a lot, and then to add 7 more? Probably a little cumbersome at best.
What are the smallest needle sizes that can be used with the "Speedy Stitcher" and where can I get those needles?
You can use a #4 needle with the speedy stitcher and you can get it here: www.sailrite.com/Needles-for-Awl-Straight-4
This music is pleasant
Can they take Glock mags?
can i use this on rubber shoes?
+revo adan I am not sure it will work with rubber shoes, but if they are already unusable, why not try. I would think the rubber would not hold the stitch well.
Can I use this to make my own canvas/ leather gear? Or add leather straps onto an canvas backpack?
***** Yes, this tool works just like a sewing machine, but instead each stitch is done by hand. It is amazing what people make using this tool.
Sailrite awesome, been tired of having to look forever do find the right style/ size of backpack I need for hiking, been wanting to start making my own gear for awhile.
Can you use this to sew fabrics to?
In the video the guy is using a type of fabric/canvas to showcase, so I don't see why not.
I'd only advise if you do this with fabrics to consider using a thinner needle and thread if you want more finer stitching.
You'd have to find a specialized needle though (one where the eyelet/hole is on the pointed end)
are you able to switch out different sized needles for this awl?
+Rex Thai Yes, it takes smaller needles and larger needles. Just like a drill would do.
You didn't explain the button on the side of the speedy stitch
The twine can be wrapped around the button a few times to keep the bobbin from feeding out more twine as you pull to tension the twine. So... it stops the bobbin from feeding more thread out as you work with the tool.
Quicker to get the sewing machine out, than messing about with this.
You can purcahse this speedy stitcher from sailrite.com just use this part number to order at sailrite: 20090. Sailrite ships worldwide.
Latch hooking??
Does one have to use a wax thread? Can we use a regular cotton sewing thread for the awl? I'm making my own handmade wallet from scratch - this is my very first time working with genuine leather fabric.
Yes, you can. The benefit to using waxed thread is for long runs because the wax helps prevent the abrasion of the thread as it is passed in and out of holes over and over again. A wallet is rather small so using a non-waxed thread should work fine.
Awesome! Thank you!!!! Sailrite
Sailrite I remember my father used this exact awl to repair a canvas umbrella ent my family used to have back in the late 1940's. I still have the awl somewhere in my house and still have the roll of heavy waxed canvas thread. As a matter of fact, right now I'm using the waxed thread and a large sewing needle now to repair a vinyl truck bed cover; I just wish I knew where that awl went to.
Over time, chemicals used in leather tanning break down cotton thread, which is why you see mostly polyester threads and artificial sinew in leather craft stores.
Katherine Urbahn-Hall Excellent comment! You are correct.
Do i thread this in the curved part of the needle or the less dented side?
+Nickia Walker Thread it in the dented part of the needle and up to the eye.
Thank you! your video was very helpful!!! I am very slow at stitching right now .. but hope i can pick up the pace!
Just don’t see the speedy part 😂 pretty cool though.
Consider setting up a sewing machine. Once you get the hang of it the process it goes pretty fast.
Where cam I get the sewing awl ket from
You can get it here: www.sailrite.com/Speedy-Stitcher-Sewing-Awl-Kit
$22 for that thing! Oh my!
Our price is much lower than that here is a link: www.sailrite.com/Speedy-Stitcher-Sewing-Awl-Kit
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
If the needle is put in the handle upside down...you won't be able to sew anything. Long groove should face rivet.
Yeah, I'm just going to buy the sewing machine 😅🧔🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Great vid but the music was putting me to sleep lol
"How sewing machine works"
So?
"and I have been sewing for over 30 years" any comments about you being able to use a needle better do not apply to other people people who haven't done that. just because you can does not mean other people can.
BACK-SIDE???
WHAT IS THE BACK-SIDE?????
.................
It is typically the side that the needle exits when pushed through.
I call shenanigans :/
Ur. Old school
I can't see the point to anything with this tool. it's faster to just use a needle and thread, and I have been sewing for over 30 years, come on really!!
Crikeys, just get out the sewing machine that's if it isn't already, looks slow and painful.
