Sewing Tools–the Awl

Most people think of awls as strictly a woodworking tool, but they can be useful in sewing. An awl can be used to press thick fabric down so that it goes smoothly under the presser foot. Place the awl in front of the presser foot and press down on the material as you sew. This is a great trick to use with thick upholstery or drapery fabric.

Use an awl to press down a zipper at the start of sewing, so that the presser foot glides over the initial hump.

Some sewers like awls made for woodworking, but special sewing awls are available. These have either rounded or pointed tips. Many people prefer the rounded tips because they will not snag fabric.
