Needle And Thread Recommendations For Dog Collars

[mlapaglia]

I need to make some dog collars for a friends shop 1/2" to 1" wide. Anyone got a suggestion on what thread and needle to use on straps that small? I figure it will be 4/5 doubled in most cases. If that's too thick let me know. Mainly I need to know what size needle and thread to buy. at the moment have 277 thread with 200 and 250 chisels.

Any suggestions?

Anyone??? Buller???

Let me ask it this way. Would 207 thread and a 794-200 needle work for sewing a double thickness of 5/6 oz veg tan leather?

I have a sample piece of 4/5 sewn with bonded nylon 66 size 138 using 794S DYX3 S needle and it looks good.

Use #160 needles with #207 thread È needles with #277 thread
