Members katsass Posted October 30, 2012 Members Report Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) From the old grumpy guy; St8line, I only use a dinky drill when teaching a person to stitch. I have them drill a series of 'pilot' holes with a 3/64" bit in a Dremel tool, then follow up with the awl - that way they pay attention to the proper orientation of the awl, and not so much on trying to get proper angle and the feel of the awl going in the right place. After a reasonably short time they resort to just poking holes with the awl. I still do my holes with a 30+ year old Osborne awl. Some of my stitching for Les.
