Pricking Iron

Recommended Posts

I use a overstitch wheel to mark my stitch spaces before I use my awl.

I was thinking about using a PRICKING IRON, after seeing one in use by someone on this fourm.

My question is, where to purchase one for 5 or 6 per inch without going broke.

Like mabey $100.00 ??? WHO MAKES A GOOD ONE , & HOW ARE THEY SIZED ?

Joseph Dixons of England makes them in many standard sizes, and can make em to any size or shape you like. They are sized by length (1/2 inch, 1 inch, 1-1.2 inch etc.) and stitches per inch. http://www.josephdix...king_Irons.html

Matt,

What do you mean length ?? Length of what ? I understand stitches per inch, but where is the length measured ?

What length of stitching is marked per hit of the mallet.
