Pricking Wheel differences

[DirtyDusty]

Is there a difference in the European, ie. Vergaz Blanchard, pricking wheels,  and the ones like Osborne?

[Tugadude]

Currently, C.S. Osborne offers this tool, which they call a Spacemarker.  Classic overstitch wheel.  5,6 and 7 stitches per inch.

 

The Blanchard Pricking Wheel is more of the traditional "pricking iron" type that leaves slits and not just pointed indentations.  The end result is more similar to if you had used a pricking iron.

What about the older style pricking wheels by osbourne?

I would say even the older better made Osborne ones would still give you give you a straight stitch mark which is the norm that side of the pound, where's this side of the pond we tend to use a angled stitch mark.

Hope this helps
