google sewing smelt plenty of info.

I found a lot of references to using sewn smelt but not much on how to..... i guess i am thick...i like step by step and pictures.

you can give me a call 978-270-0848 and i can walk you thru it. if you are local i can show you how to tie your own sewing hooks.

Here is what I found a while ago when I had the same question. I found hooks all tied at AJ's shop.
