It's a toy he designed, and the threads are exposed. That's an interesting idea (didn't think about how turning it inside out would protect the thread - was just thinking of it as a way to look nicer but good point). Unfortunately the type of material is too stiff to be turned inside out. He has a cobbler sewing them for him now. I do vinyl upholstery work for him so he asked if I was able to sew them on my Adler. I think he's planning to just buy his own machine though. Which is OK - was going to do it if I could but he has a backup plan.

Thanks for the help, all. This is just the information I needed. Good point on the "punch" strength, too. It's a very heavy-duty material, and the toys are designed for full-size dogs to gnaw on. It doesn't sound like my machine is right for the job. Thanks again!

Hello, I have an Adler 267 GK 373. I saw a thread on this forum indicating the absolute largest thread size that could be used would be 207. I regularly use #92, but don't have any idea what the other sizes are like. Someone has asked me whether I could sew dog toys they've designed (the thickness of the material they're using isn't a problem - I think I could fit it under the presser foot fine). They're using someone now who uses the same thread that is used on shoe soles. My assumption is I wouldn't be able to get anywhere near the thickness of shoe sole thread on my Adler 267, but not knowing the thread sizes I don't really know what 207 is like. I'd hate to buy a spool of 207 just to find out it's nowhere near the thickness I'd need. I realize this is kind of an odd question, but can anyone clarify, is 207 anywhere near the thickness of shoe sole thread? Thanks! Here's the thread I was reading that mentioned 207:
