Thank you for being very thorough.  I have never done anything like this before and it was a huge help in repairing my boat canvas.

Nice demo... Clear of the clear.. We understand well bro... ❤

Fantastic video. I actually held my breath when you were putting the thread through the handle hole.🙂 lol the seams on my RV awning are splitting and the awning tape doesn’t work in the Florida heat. I’m not much of a seamstress either but I’m going to try this. Thanks for a great video.

Hi. Finally I found someone who shows the bobbin setup as well. Now I'm gonna rewind mine I got in the mail. Perfect size for my hands. Thank you for your tutorial. Cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work 🙂👍👍👍

I wish this was the first video I saw on how to use this. Great job explaining each step thank you.

To help get your wax thread through the wooden hole, use a common needle threader—the little aluminum things with the thin wire on the end...😊...as I am getting old, I can’t thread a needle without it.

Thank you Mr. Rodgers, I'm going to make my own convertible boot for my Mustang.

Both of your videos helped me very much getting started, new speedy stitch owner here.. Thank you very much. Now I can go and repair that seam on my trailer cover (Anhängerverdeckreißverschlussnaht ist gerissen (German))

I use a needle threader to help thread the stitcher, especially when using smaller threads and I also attatch a no.4 saddle makers or glovers needle to the tag end to facilitate getting it through the loop on the back side much easier. Also to rewind the bobbin, I either stick it on the needle and use the stitcher as a handle and spin the bobbin with my fingers or if using smaller thread, stick the bobbin on a small wooden dowel and use my drill to spin it making sure to wind the thread evenly and hold the master bobbin on another dowel holding them both level and "facing" each other so the thresd comes off and from the side of the master bobbin and not the end, to prevent twisting, like you would do for a spinning reel when loading monofilament.

To wind a bobben:
Take off Chuck,
Put bobben on end of the
Speedy stitcher and use as a handle. Works really well, and so much easier ;)

I have been looking for a video like this aside from using it on leather.. yaay thank you!

I found one at a flea market...unused in a sealed box...old and very well made....still has price on it in the old british currency....so its at least 60 years old...very useful tool that cost me next to nothing..

Brilliant tuition! Thanks!

I'm, amongst other things, a 71-year-old Journeyman Bridgeman (Piledriver) commonly referred to in the trade as a Pile Butt (LU 2404)
I have a quick tip: What you refer to as an overhand knot, we call a half hitch.
Anyway, whenever you employ a half hitch in any application, instead of going through the loop once and drawing it tight, and it slaks off on its own, try going through the loop twice nd drawing it tight..You will find that it does not slack off and stays tight, giving you the foundation to tie a nice, tight knot that you can still untie with minimal effort...Unlike the undesirable leaver..Which is a complicated knot with many half hitches, etc. Tied in many different variations. Properly named because you just tie it and leave-er, because you'll never get the SOB untied

Great explanatory vid. Thanks heaps.

Love your video's and the time you took to explain how you use your craft to make useful products like big warm mittens 😊 for instance. I like this tool so much, but didn't even know it existed so I ordered it yesterday because I need to fix the strap of my ruckpack which almost comes off. Can you tell me what the material of the thread is made of? It is a waxed thread, but is it polyester, cotton or something else? And I think you can get your thread through those little holes if you used the same kind of needle and technique you use to stitch. I can't wait until it arrives in my mailbox 😊 Thanks again Sask 👍

I just purchased one of these from Walmart. Thanks for the illustration. I'll revisit this video. Im too sure. Preesh.....

I've had good luck with my "ending knot" by using Super Glue. Tie 2 overhand knots as you showed. Then, put a dab of Super Glue on the knot that's big enough to saturate the knot. Let it dry a minute or so, then clip it short with the scissors. Have had no problems with this method on the (admittedly few) Speedy Stitching projects I've done like my arrow quiver & such. I also used some on the end of the thread to "stiffen" it up to help feed it through the hole in the wood handle, eye of the needle, & such..... Hee hee. With Super Glue & Duct tape, you could rule the world!

Damn. I found something at the flea market I thought was the speedy stitcher but made a long time ago. Turns out it's basically the same exact thing, just made better. Maybe an early model of it? Got it for a buck so I'm stoked.

a well thought out tool design simple an effective
