Smaller Needles And Thread

[Smaller Needles And Thread]

the 000s seem to be good when you are using 5ply or higher thread. For 4ply or 332 to 432 thread, the #2s work well. For smaller 532-832 thread the #4 are best, imo.

size difference between them in case you want it by the numbers.

Size 2

55mm length x 1.02mm diameter

Size 4

50mm length x 0.86mm diameter

PS- size 1-3 are the same needle size (in John James anyway). They're just numbered differently depending on where you live.

Can you link me to somewhere online that I can buy needles like this?

Also will I still thread the needle the same with these smaller sizes, such as where you push the needle through the middle of the thread and pull it over the eye on two needles at once?

I'm new to leatherworking and I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for clearly described. I bought a basic needle work kit off of tandy and it came with these dull and relatively large needles and thread. What I'm wondering is if there is a more thin thread and finer needles that are often used for hand stitching?

Thanks

Do you mean the part where the flap tucks? That strap on the stop side like that was mostly just copied from the style of the one I liked:

[First Ever Project - Needle Pouch]

I was looking for a good project to use my newly acquired tools on and I thought I should solve a problem with the problem itself. So I have sewn normally for some time but use a tomato thingy for my needles normally but these big leather ones need their own holder. Inspired by another pouch I saw on a website for leather goods.

Colors are pretty close in photos, natural finish.

Learned a ton for my next go around, mainly in how to stitch and how to cut in a straight line.
