This is great, we were able to fix our leather shoes. It can save you a lot of money.
However, this kit comes with 2 needles, the #8 "big" needle in strait and curved. We quickly fixed the larger threading at the base of the shoes, but soon realized that we needed the thinner #4 needle (and thinner thread) for other parts of the shoes. We had to order just the #4 needle separate (hint: if you are in this situation, it is MUCH cheaper to get the one needle via an online auction service you may have heard of....). Some kits come with all 3 needles, I would suggest just paying a little more and getting that.
As for the thread, you need waxed thread. I bought black waxed thread separately, in thick and thin. The thick light-tan tread that came with the speedy stitcher would not have worked on our black and brown shoes.
Hope this helps!

This is a quality product (and made in the USA, no less). No comparison to the cheaper import models. Very stout construction.

Great for stitching canvas or leather. I used to use a palm and needle, but this awl is much less work

Great handiman tool
I wouldn't consider this to be a professional grade tool for daily use, but it is more than adequate for home/farm repairs.

Briefcase Saved
I purchased this purely to save a beloved briefcase, it worked perfectly. I appreciate the instructions are limited, just Google for more information if you are unsure.

Leather tool
This tool was more than I thought it would be. Instructions come with it explaining how it works and I received it sooner that I thought.

Very versatile tool
I have used this tool to repair a phone case, fix the handle on my son's flashlight, and several other tasks. It's not glamorous, but it does the job very well. Read more

O.K.
IT works O. K. for a rough stitch in leather. I haven't tried it on anything else so I don't know about that.
