In a "pinch"..... dental floss makes great thread. It's strong and is often waxed. I tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters.

I believe, if you want to stich from a large spool like the spool of Rhino thread, you can just pull out the small internal spool and instead of removing all the thread from it and then winding on the Rhino thread, you can just feed the spool thread through the hole in the end cap and then thread sticher as usual and just pull from the large spool.

That wouldn’t make a fun part to the video though! 😉

Really? Why not? I think people would like to know that and perhaps if you've never used a speed stitcher you might not realize that..I didnt at first.

I've had one in my camping gear for years now and haven't used even half of the thread it came with, so I stopped carrying the giant spool of extra thread along. Excellent tool for salvaging a piece of gear, or improvising a custom sheath or bag in camp.

I used to use one of these to mend saddle horns and so on. They are pretty easy to use.

Excellent tutorial and handy tool. Nice job unspooling the old thread! Haha. Just wanted to comment on that from my sewing machine experience...you don't actually have to remove all of the old thread. You can wind right over the original thread. That's assuming you have enough space on the bobbin for the new thread. Thanks again for getting me started with this tool!

Mine paid for itself as soon as I bought it. My youngest son's backpack was falling apart, my middle lads rugby boots were split. Both fixed and still going strong 6 months later. I unwind the tread from the bobbing by putting a pencil in the chuck of a cordless drill and winding on the thread. I wind on thread by putting the lug of the bobbin in the jaws of the cordless drill and taking thread of the pencil or thread manufacturers bobbin. Quick and no twist to the thread.

I think you may have missed a hole when rethreading? If I’m not mistaken, after the thread comes out of the handle and then wraps around the tensioner, I believe it goes through one more hole at the end of the handle, then through the needle.

Lets take a look at that nifty Lighter Retractor get up..... Slick.... How did you get the base to stay on the lighter?

Hi: You failed to mention a couple of things? I used an Awl for All (same thing) back in the 70's, until I smartened up and went to hand saddle stitching. First: You DON'T get a locking stitch with this tool, you get a potato bag stitch? If you accidentally break the thread, and pull the loose end, the whole stitch comes unraveled like the stitching on a potato sack. Two: You forgot to mention, that when you push the needle through the first time, you have to pull out that loose end far enough to go about 2-3 inches past the end of the stitch run, or you'll run out of thread looong before you get finished stitching that seam. Just two items for your viewers to think about? This tool does a very neat, easy job of stitching, but I'd NEVER use one to replace a good hand saddle stitching job! Be honest and transparent, NOT concerned with sales profits. It'll get you farther. Blessings: Stoney
