While this may be for the best, there's certainly much better out there. Attached photos: 1) parts diagram; 2) an accurate description of the goods; 3) an example of how the product can be used to circumvent some of its shortcomings (wrong threading through the awl); 4) a competitor's product whose design appears to eliminate many of the product's shortcomings. Pros: 1) fits comfortably in the palm of your hand 2) strong lining catch to secure the needle 3) well designed thread bar (allows the needle to slide freely to the needle) 3) overall a good idea Bad: 1) if "bobbin" (bobbin for strings) is filled too much, The line is not feeding properly and is cutting the spool of line that is inside the spool. Recommendation: There's not much you can do about it. This is just a point to be aware of as my booklet maker SHIPPED with an overfilled spool. 2) The "spring pin" (the silver nail around which the line must wrap as it exits the spool handle) is weak and bends easily. . - this should not be the case with a premium product. Recommendation: replace tension rod. 3) The "end cap" is too difficult to remove. I had to use pliers and damaged it in the process (bent weak metal). This should not be the case with a premium product either. Recommendation: a) smooth the metal edge on the end cap so it is not abrasive; b) Attach braided thread or metal wire to the end cap for easier removal. 4) the hole from which the thread comes out when the spool is torn off is pierced with a thread. Finally, a cut is made in the wooden handle in which the thread gets stuck. This is bad design. The opening angle is poorly designed. Feeding the line from the bottom of the spool creates a very sharp angle from the spool (spool) to the hole through which the line is intended to exit. Recommendation: This problem can be solved by widening the hole on the inside of the sewing awl handle and sealing it with epoxy. Having personally cut a hole (on the inside of the sewing awl) with a knife, it was enough to let the thread pass freely. from which the thread comes out when the spool is torn off, the thread is punctured.
