Awl Guide - Sewing and Bookbinding

prusaprinters

<p><strong>What is it</strong></p><p>A simple awl guide for sewing thick fabrics. While trying to sew industrial felt, I found it difficult to punch holes that are evenly spaced, especially when the fabric is folded over itself. This is a small tool for evenly punching holes that are 1 cm apart, up to 10 cm.</p><p>Pictured are two catchall trays I made as a first project using the guide. I found this guide on <a href="https://youtu.be/srNya2JJv-g">how to sew</a> helpful for first-timers like me.</p><p><strong>How to print</strong></p><p>I used <a href="https://amzn.to/3DshZt8">TPU filament</a> for both parts, printed using standard PLA settings 215C - nozzle and 60C - bed. I switched the color for the ruler for legibility.</p><p><strong>Material used for sewing</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3RUNFeX">Awl kit with 50m of nylon</a> - &nbsp;~$12</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3qAje26">Industrial felt</a> - 6ft x 1ft ~$6.50</li></ul><p>Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions or changes to the design.
