Really excellent reinforcement that! I've used wire before today still in its electrical insulation! Sometimes I make a gemming out of upholstery leather too and add the electrical wire cheaper than a hundred foot spool of gemming! And stronger than canvas!
Short ones are wonderful… there is only one type that are recommended to put into your mouth… they are about 3/8. And in my limited experience, very sharp. I have gone to wire nails, so much cheaper, but not recommended to put into your mouth 👄 due to cancer ♋️ risks.

Your needles are too thick that's why you struggle so much while stitching. It would be so much easier and joyful to stitch with thinner needles. Other than that you doing great job!
These are the thinnest needles available to me that are practical. They are Osborne 2-1/2” 18 gauge. I do have 19 gauge needles. While threading them with thread large enough for the job is “possible” I can get half a welt done with the larger needles by the time I accomplish it. What brand needles do you use?
I love your videos. I would love see your process for lasting and pattern design.
Thank you! This is very helpful!
Thankyou for posting this video!
Today I made the same awl from a spring but with a hole on the top, which you can immediately sew on
I use a hook for such a seam, but this is a matter of personal convenience. Greeting from Ukraine.
I don’t have access to a decent hook awl so I have not tried it. Seems like something a person would have to make. Where did you get yours?

Electrical wire….yeah, that probably works. Need a big ass needle.
а под дождем... часок-другой... что от этого труда останется?
Can you show us where exactly you punch on the insole that is hidden? How do you know the stiches are not going to show?
👍
👍👍👍
Will having nails there leave a loose stitches sometimes? I always glue, pull nails then sew 🪡. Curious… did you glue and nail?
What size are those tacks?
Those are 5oz hand shoe racks made by D. B. Gurney.
