http://www.sailrite.com/Speedy-Stitch... The Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl is great for sewing when a sewing machine is not available or when sewing with a sewing machine is not feasible. The Speedy Stitcher comes with waxed twine, but many Sailrite customers want to know if lighter sewing machine threads, like V-69, V-92, or V-138, can be used. Oftentimes lighter thread would look better than large twine in certain applications. See this demonstration on how to use the Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl with Sewing Thread.
