    Needles

    Gentlemen thanks for all of the helpful advice. After a little practice I seem to be able to thread the needle pretty good now. I do think that ya'll are correct in the a different brand of thread would be helpful. Feel free to send me a PM on alternative sources for waxed linen thread. Also...

    Awl for Leather Stitching

    I bought an awl haft and one of the separate diamond blades from Tandy Leather. I'm not very pleased with it though. I had searched Ebay for a old awl but to no avail. Would anyone have any suggestions for good diamond bladed awl for leather sewing?
