Welcome to Stitch it Awl<br />
<strong>The</strong> Stitch-It-Awl is a hand sewing awl for safely and quickly sewing by hand<br />
mainly medium to heavy materials such as sailcloth, canvas, leather, soft luggage,<br />
upholstery or webbing. It was developed to solve the problems associated with the<br />

leather palm used by sail makers.<br />
Made in Australia - 316 stainless construction<br />

<strong>The</strong> Stitch It Awl is safer to use than the palm and<br />
needle, as the needle is locked in the tool while sewing<br />
(and cannot slip).<br />
It is quicker, since both sides are sewn at the same<br />
time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> stitch is also stronger as it forms an interlocking<br />
chain.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Stitch It Awl is easy to use and is ideal for in situ<br />
sewing repairs, either of sails or of almost any material,<br />
when a heavy duty sewing machine is not available or<br />
not practical.<br />
