Hi everyone,
I'm starting to think about a project that consists of sewing wool fabric (approx. 400gsm) with thick linen thread (diameter: 3mm).
The aim is to use linen for decorative purposes but also to avoid synthetics.
Given the thick diameter of the thread, I'm considering using an industrial leather machine.
I have read quite a lot of advice by @Wizcrafts, particuarly on the following post:
I would love your opinion on what you would recommend:
Is an industrial machine (like the Singer 45K) recommended, or is it "too much"? My main challenge is finding a machine able to "accept" a 3mm or 4mm diameter thread, so I don't know if I should consider only heavy-duty leather machinery or if other options are possible.
If the 45K or equivalent is too much, what "more gentle" option would you recommend?
Would you recommend waxing the thread, specifically for sewing wool fabric?
Many thanks for your advice,
Clément
