Hand Stitching with an Awl & American Straight Needle

[LandAndSeaKahuna]

do you prefer an american straight needle or a pair of leather sewing needles?

It is a "Jerk Needle"

This guy doesnt respond. Please let me know where can this be bought and what is it exactly called. I searched by the keyword "american straight needle" and never found this anywhere.

When I am stiching with the speedy sticher the thred keeps pulling out after I put it threw the loop!!! I need to follow your video but with the need I have it is jsut a hole.

Where can I get one of them needles that will fit in a Awl, speeder sticher? Im having a hell of a time with the hole in the needle. I need to try the way u r stiching, Iv tried and can not stich with this needle with hole!!

I noticed some difficulty in pushing the needle thru - was that a fresh needle or had you been using it for a while. Or was it the material you were using?
