Description
The awl from the ergonomics range by Prym can do more than punch: you use it to guide the fabric just in front of the presser foot without bringing your fingers close to the needle, and to shape the corners of bags and collars neatly after turning. Mine stays permanently next to the machine.
If you are looking for a tool for punching holes in fabric, paper, leather and much more, the awl from the prym.ergonomics range is an excellent choice. Its ergonomic grip recesses let you work without fatigue and without your fingers slipping. Holes from 1 to 5 mm in size can be made effortlessly in textiles with this handy awl, for snap fasteners for example. The white protective cap in grippy soft material closes off the steel point to protect against injury – and the awl can now even be stood upright. Pushed onto the handle of the hole punch tool, the rounded cap becomes the ideal resting surface for your hand. With a cord the awl can also be worn round your neck, so you always have it to hand.
The insider tip: the awl is the secret rival of the seam ripper. With the awl you unpick seams quite easily. All right, you need a small pair of embroidery scissors to go with it. But the risk of damaging the fabric is much lower here. Give it a try!
