Questions about this tool
Why use an awl before the needle?
Pre-piercing sets the stitch location. The needle then carries the thread through that opening.
When is the curved version easier?
Choose a curve when the needle must turn around an exposed stitch or when access behind a cover is limited.
Do the five needles provide different lengths?
The packet gives one needle size for the five-piece pack.
