Awls (scratch awls, stitching awls, sewing awls)
- could be a simple piece of wood with a nail or
- Stitching Awl
- don't buy the Sewing Awl Kit, this isn't the easiest tool to use especially for a beginner and therefore could be a waste of your money.
- put a piece of wood or rubber underneath the leather to not dull the blade or
- Poundo Board
