Pull thread from the bobbin through the handle, loop it around the tension post as shown in the instructions, feed it along the handle groove and through the ferrule hole, then pass it through the needle's eye and secure the chuck lock.
No, the Speedy Stitcher forms a lock stitch by hand, pushing the needle through the material and drawing the thread taut with each pass.
On the last stitch, pull about 3" of thread through the loop instead of passing it all the way through, cut the thread, pull the awl free, then tie the two ends together with a square knot.
Yes, refill thread is available in coarse or fine weight, in 30-yard or 180-yard lengths, along with a separate fine straight needle for lighter material.
