- Use the awl to pre-punch stitch holes along your seam line before threading your needle — this ensures even spacing and reduces material stress.
- Pair with waxed thread for the strongest, most weather-resistant seams on tent and canvas projects.
- For very thick leather, apply a small amount of beeswax to your needle to help it glide through more smoothly.
