These things are a wonderful piece of gear I've used them for decades. They are basically a ppcket sized industrial strength sewing machine and are able to sew canvas, shoe leather, sailcloth, heavy straps, etc atc, in multiple layers if need be. They can repair things a common sewing machine is incapable of, and can stitch items so heavy as to be entirely impractical or impossible to do by hand. I have literally prevented thousands in lost wages when I have repaired work gear in remote locations only because I had a speed stitcher in with my maintenance tools. The stitchers are rugged and last forever too if you are careful not to break the needles and carry spare needles in the handle. I happen to have one about 5 feet in front of me right now that I may have had for 25 yeats or more. They are a good tool to have along camping etc, they will fix eg a leather belt, a tent, a backpack strap, a diving bcd etc no problem. I really appreciate these little tools, they work so well (I even figured out an alternate stitch to use a few years ago). It is surprising how little known these old tools are.

Loved the video, straight forward in instruction. One key point left out was the tension post. Another important key point is putting the thread through the loop the same way each stitch. Initially when you first start stitching with S Stitcher, yes it goes slow. After you get a rhythm down, the pace picks up. When I have a large piece I’m stitching, I place a large blunt needle on the “ bobbin thread end. Speeds up putting it through the loop quicker.
The tension post also allows you to pull the entire Stitcher back when tightening the stitch, rather than putting it down and tightening by hand.

I received my first Speedy Stitcher when I was ten years old - over fifty years ago. I made dozens of leather and canvass projects (pouches, wallets, checkbook covers, sheathes, holsters, etc.) and repaired shoes, backpacks, tents, sails, etc. I went through the original 150 yard spool of waxed nylon thread in two years. My hands were frequently stained with leather dye and I often had blisters on my pinkies from tensioning the thread. I agree - it is not necessarily “speedy”, but it does offer many advantages as an introductory-level, practical tool. Also, using the Speedy Stitcher taught me how a lock-stitch sewing machine functions. I learned to appreciate the difference between top-eye and bottom-eye needles. When I was studying furniture design at a small art school in Providence, RI in the late 80’s, I designed and fabricated a metal and leather chair. My professors didn’t believe that I had hand-stitched the leather (using a Speedy Stitcher), until I produced work samples and demonstrated the process. I’ve since learned a lot about working with leather. When crafting high-end leather work, (hand bags, sheathes for knives, axes, etc.), I prefer to use a harness maker’s bench and two needles to stitch through pre-marked and pre-punched holes. But, as a sturdy, dependable, sewing tool, the Speedy Stitcher can’t be beat. Understanding how a bottom-eye needle works, one can use the awl on a Swiss Army knife to effect sturdy repairs on equipment in the field. Just get one, read the instructions and have at it!

AT the beginning, a small silver tack can be seen stuck into the wood handle. This is for tensioning the thread as it is pulled from the bobbin. You are supposed to do a single wrap around th etack, then thread the needle as shown. It eliminates the need to put the unit down to pull on your stitch to tighten it. The downside is that, with certain types and weights of thread, the tack cause too much friction and it can bind the thread. Also, the hidden bobbin is turned 90 degrees from the feed line, so it can be prone to tangles ands crossover friction that you cannot see coming. That is why I use the Tandy Leather version of this tool. The bobbin is outside the handle and you use your index finger to keep the feed tension constant like a fishing reel. You can see the bobbin and it is much easier to re-load. The whole thing is more instinctive and there are no fits and starts with tension problems or feed issues. That' what puts the "speed" in it.

One things that speeds up the process, is, take the tag end of the thread, (underneath), and pull just a little extra thread through. Then thread a curved needle on that tag end and use it to thread through the loop formed when you pull the stitcher back a little bit. It's much easier and faster to get the tag end through that little loop. Tie a knot on the tag thread to keep the curved needle from slipping off, If this works for you, I suggest dulling the curved needle so you don't have to worry about grabbing it and poking yourself. Just keep that needle separate for this one purpose.

Ok, this is how I've got it: Poke thru the material & pull the thread as shown (~2:10). Thread a (curved) needle onto the thread's end, don't tie it (just pull a bit through). Use the needle to guide the end of the thread through the loops that are made as you use the Stitcher. This is very much like when 2 threads are used (which might actually be easier).

Excellent instruction! One thing I would add, is that taking a turn of the thread around the metal pin as it pays out of the bobbin and before it goes into the needle will help keep proper tension on the thread. I've had my Speedy Stitcher for decades! it's a fantastic tool.

I hand stitch with 2 needles and an awl. From what I have seen here a "speedy stitcher" is not very speedy compared to the double needle - awl method. I have been hand sewing leather for about 45 years. I was very very slow when I first started learning but with experience my speed improved. Most of the leather bags I made back in the 1970's are still in use. Hand sewing with 2 needles is how saddles are sewn. The results provide incredible strength.

I think that every method has its place. The Speedy-Stitcher combines the awl and needle function into one. Every stitch is locked and neatness comes with practice same as with the 2-needles plus an awl method. For a practiced leatherworker/saddle-maker the 2 needles will probably be faster. For a guy on a rocking boat with no sewing-pony in his lap the speedy stitcher is more appropriate. Its "horses-for-courses". ;-)

I can't read Russian, but for English speakers I'm pretty sure these guys are commenting that the background song is "Katyusha" a WWII Russian song.

I also noticed it was "Katyusha"! Splendid, relaxing tune but also keeps you going when you're engaged in a strenuous, monotonous activity. I always thought Katyusha should've been the song used in the game, Tetris...😂 I love this song!

I’ve one of these and botched it. This is much clearer than the unclear instruction manual that came with mine. Cheerio. 😊

Before Isaac Singer designed the two-thread sewing machine that we use today, the first attempt to create a sewing machine basically replicated this exact motion. Nice to see it's still got a place in handwork.
Thanks. I found one of these among tools that were my dad's or my father-in-law's. Didn't know what it was or how to use it. Now I do. Still learning interesting and useful stuff at 69.

It is one of those tools that, when you learn to use it, you are so grateful you inherited it. I have the one that my father taught me how to use in my tool kit.

Thank you for this great and informative video. The only problem I had is the music is way too loud, louder than the voice much of the time, had to fight to hear everything he said.

Try marking all sewing points with a fork and a hammer before starting to sew. That'll tidy the job up.

Thanks for this clear explanation. Now I can try using the stitcher I found some years ago. I knew at the time it would be a useful SHTF tool

I've been using this tool for a short time and learned something from you. I thought that the thread had to go up through the hole in the handle and then around the brass thingamajig sticking up before going through the groove and then the hole in the needle. Not having to go around that thing will make sewing with the Speedy Stitcher a whole lot easier. Thanks!

Nice instructional video but I've never understood the name of the product. The tool is clever. The handle is comfortable. The needle thick and tough to handle thick materials. But speedy it's not.
