Dang Sumner. You all are some sewing fools! Love your foot pedal mod. I need to look into that before I start on the cushions. Been making the piping this afternoon.....

Excellent input Tejas. Looks like a great tool to put in the box. The sewing awl often has to be "worked" back and forth a bit to get it through really thick stuff. Maybe an electric drill with a really small bit would also do the trick? Never thought to try that but you got me thinking.
use and awl to make the holes then the sewing needle will pass thru easily.

an oldtimers harness bench or vise would make the chore a pleasure :)
