SPEEDY STITCHER

The Speedy Stitcher is a versatile hand tool designed for sewing heavy materials such as leather, canvas, and vinyl. Invented in 1909 by Francis Stewart in Central Massachusetts, this American-made sewing awl has been a reliable companion for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts for over a century.

Speedy Stitcher: Components and Features

Each Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl comes equipped with:

  • High-Tensile Waxed Thread: Durable thread ideal for heavy-duty sewing tasks.
  • Diamond Point Needles: Custom-made needles that ensure precise stitching through tough materials.

These components enable users to produce lock stitches manually, akin to those made by sewing machines, ensuring strong and lasting repairs.

Speedy Sticher: Applications

The Speedy Stitcher's utility spans a wide range of applications, including:

  • Leather Goods: Repairing items like belts, wallets, and bags.
  • Canvas Tarps: Mending tears or reinforcing seams in heavy-duty tarps.
  • Outdoor Gear: Fixing climbing equipment, camping gear, and backpacks.
  • Saddlery and Tack: Maintaining and repairing saddles, harnesses, and other equestrian equipment.
  • Footwear: Addressing issues in shoes and boots, extending their lifespan.

Its adaptability makes it invaluable for various repair tasks, from athletic equipment to bookbinding.

Using the Speedy Stitcher

To effectively utilize the Speedy Stitcher:

  1. Preparation:
    • Ensure the awl is threaded correctly, with the bobbin pre-loaded in the handle.
    • Select the appropriate needle (straight or curved) based on the project's requirements.
  2. Starting the Stitch:
    • Push the needle through the material from the backside.
    • On the front side, pull out enough thread to cover the entire stitching area, adding an extra 3 inches for security.
  3. Creating the Lock Stitch:
    • Keep your thumb firmly over the thread on the awl's handle.
    • Hold the thread taut and pull the needle back out of the hole.
    • Repeat this process, ensuring consistent tension for uniform stitches.
