Wizcrafts Report post Posted June 16, 2012 What size of needle and thread should I use for a watch band ? Thanks. Kevin If the leather band is under 1/8 inch thick, I would use #69 bonded nylon thread, with a #16 needle @ 8 stitches per inch. If I used a #18 needle, I might stretch out the stitches to 7 per inch. A Singer 31-15 is a nice machine for sewing watchbands. Use a narrow Teflon zipper foot with a slot in the center and an edge guide to keep the needle about 1/16" to 3/32" from the edges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
