Good call Carl! I've had a Speedy Stitcher for 50 years, along with a big spool of waxed thread. It was originally offered only by LL Bean, back in the day when
Leon Leonwood was still alive and sending out his hand-made catalogs in the mail.
I repair a couple of items every year with it! But unfortunately the Speedy Stitcher, along with most of Leon's other unique products, have been dropped by the current LL Bean catalog, in favor of 'shearling slippers' and 'ultrasoft cotton comforters.'
Rugged Maine outdoorsman Leon Leonwood must be rolling in his grave!
