These are Great!

I am familiar with these pliers. I have a set myself, and find them indispensable for working with heavy leathers for bags and satchels. The prepunching the stitch holes on two layers of 9+oz leather is made immeasurably easier with these, especially with pieces glued in place.

Hello, Certainly there is a wealth of experience here on this forum, so perhaps someone could answer my query. The preferred method for saddle stitching seems to be to hold the awl while working, punching each hole just prior to threading the needles through and so on. Why is this? In the many videos I have looked at about hand stitching I don't think any explained why. Isn't it needlessly complicated when compared with prepunching the holes and then focusing just one threading with the two needles? What advantage is to be gained with this method? Thanks

In speaking to the sales guy at Tandy, he mentioned that there were issues with the Singer machine, and so they pulled it. I did notice they've got another offering available, though I am not sure what it is off hand.
