i saw this on lacrosse monkey

this has nothing to do with lacrosse

[Sailrite1]

I have no idea why it would be posted on Lacrosse Monkey, maybe they use it to fix the lacrosse sticks and someone embedded the video thinking it would help those interested in lacrosse.

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!!

[Sailrite1]

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.

this tool is used on heavy fabric and leather which is to tuff to do by pushing a needle with your finger

Thanks for the instructions

I use this to make moccasins.... I can't use a needle and thread to do that... Leather Awls have been useful for YEARS

[kenrick encinas]

"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.

I can think of a few reasons...like fixing damaged gear on the road?

[DamianEatsNails]

I call shenanigans :/

[Axbent]

I agree, and one can make lock stitches with a normal needle, surgeons do it every day!

Nice vid. I want to have this also. Where can i order this item? Can you help me? Is there any shop selling this item in Singapore? Thanks

[Yoshimus Maximus]

Dude, thank you so much, I was going bonkers trying to figure out how to use my awl!

[Shoetiefly]

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.
