a 100 year tradition

The Speedy Stitcher® sewing awl has been a staple in American households since it was patented in 1909. This handy sewing tool is a tool used by professionals and do-it yourselfers such as leather crafters, sailors, boaters, horse lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, athletes and coaches, just to mention a few. This is an all-in-one sturdy hand tool with our signature high-tensile waxed polyester thread and diamond point needles that is designed to sew a tight lock stitch, just like a sewing machine, with ease. Customers around the world call it, “indispensable”.

This tool can be spotted in a variety of places from a hiker’s backpack, various repair kits for everything from bouncy houses to baseball gloves, a survival kit or in a leather crafter’s shop. This quick stitching tool is self-contained; all needed components are stored within the awl.

Today, Silver Creek Leather Company is proud to continue the Speedy Stitcher® legacy and manufacture the same high-quality sewing awl consumers have come to expect. 

Every Speedy Stitcher® is Made in the USA from component parts that are sourced in the United States - the wood handles are from Maine, the metal bobbins and caps are from Massachusetts and thread from the Carolinas. Every awl is assembled and packed by hand, in Southern Indiana.
