Strong, Even Stitches in Leather – By Hand
A torn bag strap, a loose belt or a shoe that needs a new seam: thick leather is hard to sew with an ordinary needle. This hand sewing awl holds a spool of waxed thread in its wooden handle and feeds it through a sturdy needle, so you can make tight lock stitches in leather, canvas and other heavy materials.
What it is
A hand sewing tool for heavy materials
The tool has a comfortable wooden handle, a metal body that holds the thread spool and a screw-in needle. It is made for thick materials like belts and straps, where it helps you make clean, even stitches.
- Wooden handle: a firm grip while you push through leather.
- Built-in thread spool: the waxed thread feeds straight to the needle.
- Two needle lengths: a long and a short needle for different thicknesses.
- Small wrench: to change the needle.
Waxed thread
Seams that hold
Waxed thread is strong and glides smoothly through leather, so your seams stay tight and last. It is the classic choice for leatherwork and repairs.
Setting it up
Install the thread in six steps
Put the thread spool into the body, thread it through the needle, screw the needle in place and tighten it with the wrench. The step-by-step picture shows the whole setup.
How to sew
Making a lock stitch
1. Push through
Push the needle through the material and pull it back slightly so a small loop of thread forms.
2. Pass the thread
Pass the free end of the thread through the loop.
3. Pull tight
Pull the awl back out so the two threads lock inside the material, then move on to the next stitch.
In use
