Members filluptieu Posted April 22, 2009 Members Report Posted April 22, 2009 I plan on buying a singer 9410. its a old heavy duty sewing machine. Im only sewing through 3 oz leather, in which, the only thing I am sewing it to is a zipper... I believe it would be a waste to buy a tippman or something of that sort for only a zipper. Now I know a few of you have advised me to look for a shoe repair place or something but ive called 6 places and they told me for one zipper they would keep it for about a week! and everyone is to busy for something like that =( I noticed that tandy has a leather stitching needle for sewing machines. should i use that? and whats the correct size of thread to use? Thank you all in advance! Quote

Thank you all in advance! It takes a standard 2020 needle... say a 16/100 or an 18/100 would be fine. But don't get a leather needle... get a round point... or it will slice the zipper tape's threads. You can get the needles at any store with home sewing supplies. Quote
