Review on Tandy Leather Sewing Awl 1216 00 by Jennifer Roberts

Really strong and amazing tool. Style and quick stitch are mainly quality and needles. Quick stitch - poor quality, but has an advantage. Regular thread sewing machine needles can be used. that would make it a little more versatile. but Backstitch is much better in quality and ease of use. He doesn't take needles from a high-speed sewing machine because they're not interchangeable. I have one of these in my emergency room. Years of experience in the industry and their quality tools reflect this. When I first received my awl in the mail, I immediately noticed that the threads and needles are superior to the quality of the quick stitch, and the machine runs on the device itself. Oh I had no burrs on the threads and the thread was smooth. My main wish is that it comes with a second spool and maybe a different needle or even a spare of the ones supplied. but the price is very good for this quality. I recommend watching a YouTube video about sewing with an awl on a leather tandi and it also shows the best way to finish a stitch. I recommend this tool over the loose-leaf stapler. built for tough jobs. If you want to go camping or use a survival bag, add this tool. For its size and weight, this is a powerhouse that will fix your tent, clothes, shoes, sleeping bags, knives, backpacks and any other dirty camping chores you might need. I have a set of seven sailing needles that I'm adding to round out my set, but that's another story. If you are a leather master this is a must have. very sharp! Be sensible when using this tool as the needle will pierce your finger. I also advise being careful with the tension tool. It is a softer metal and will bend if mishandled. I don't know if this will help anyone who is considering buying this product. but I hope so. Learning how to use it is a fairly easy task, and after a few hours you should be making some good projects with it easily and with some speed. creative. This guy is a little more versatile than he looks. hope this was helpful and good luck. Again, I recommend watching the Tandi Leather video. They have a very good YouTube channel and should help you decide if this purchase is right for you.
