    • Insert the needle into the ridged end of the awl, with the eye facing outward.

    • Retighten the awl by holding the smooth end and twisting the ridged end clockwise.

    • Insert the cotter pin into the hole in the smooth end.

    • The cotter pin provides a nice handle for working with the awl.

    • Stab the threaded needle of the awl through all the layers of fabric you are sewing.

    • Thick material is very hard to puncture. Be careful not to puncture yourself in the process.

    • If you are having difficulty puncturing the material, you can use a vice to hold the material in place, or place something on the backside of the material to puncture into. A rubber eraser works great.

    • Pull the short end of the thread through the material, so that it dangles free on the other side of the material.

    • While holding on to the short, free end of the thread, carefully pull the awl back through the material.

    • The short, free end of the thread should stay on the other side of the material.

    • Continue holding the short, free thread, and puncture the material again a short distance away, moving along the material you are sewing.

    • This distance will become a stitch. Try to keep your stitch length short and even.

    • Remove the awl.
