esantoro Report post Posted October 21, 2008 When I hand stitch parts of my bags, I like using an awl handle with a 328 machine needle. I currently use an automatic awl with this 328 needle. The largest needle I've been able to use is a size 23, which is a bit smaller than I'd like, but larger needles don't fit. Can anyone recommend an awl handle that will take a 328 or 794 system needle? Thanks, Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
