A positioning needle keeps leather layers accurately aligned while you stitch. It is particularly useful when several layers need to stay registered before and during sewing, reducing movement and keeping your stitch line consistent.
Instead of holding everything in place with your fingers, the positioning needle locks the layers together and keeps your hands clear of the stitching area.
Key Features
📐 Accurate alignment
Registers multiple leather layers before stitching and stops them shifting while you sew.
🔒 Locking brass body
The needle passes through the leather and locks into a knurled brass body, holding the layers firmly together.
🧵 Consistent stitch line
Holds the work steady so the stitching line stays straight and even.
📏 Two working ranges
0–6 mm and 6–12 mm, to suit thinner and thicker leather assemblies.
How to Use
- Push the needle through matching stitching holes in the layers you want to hold together.
- Pull back the lock at the end of the brass body, slide the body onto the needle tip and release to lock it.
- To remove, pull back the lock again and slide the body off. Never force it on or off — this can damage the lock.
Uses
- Hand saddle stitching
- Aligning multiple leather layers
- Holding pieces in position before punching or sewing
- Wallets, bags, straps and other layered leatherwork
