mlapaglia Report post Posted January 22, 2012 I need to make some dog collars for a friends shop 1/2" to 1" wide. Anyone got a suggestion on what thread and needle to use on straps that small? I figure it will be 4/5 doubled in most cases. If that's too thick let me know. Mainly I need to know what size needle and thread to buy. at the moment have 277 thread with 200 and 250 chisels. Any suggestions? Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mlapaglia Report post Posted February 1, 2012 Let me ask it this way. Would 207 thread and a 794-200 needle work for sewing a double thickness of 5/6 oz veg tan leather? Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
