Needle And Thread Size For Leather Thickness

Recommended Posts

Im sure its on here somewhere. but can someone point me in the direction of proper needle size to thread size for leather thickness? I generally am sewing 3 layers of 8 oz. with 200 needle 277 top and 207 bobbin. but Ive recently started sewing one layer of about 10oz with the same set up. it's turning out ok but what is the proper sizes for different thicknesses?? its all veg tanned if that makes a difference.

any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Eddie

Eddie, try a #24/180 with 207 top and bottom. This is just one combination. I am sure that there are others, but I would try this first. Remember, it is all relative. The thicker the leather, the heavier the thread and needle. The same goes for lighter weight leather, lighter thread and smaller needle. Steve
