It's going to completely depend on your SPI, and what your stitching together. I'd stick to either 132 or 207 and 5 or 6 spi.

That is about the thickness I sew frequently (wallets & card cases) and I use 3 or 4 cord linen thread at 5-7 stitches per inch.

138 thread at the most. f you're bonding the pieces together and just using the thread as an edge binder, you could even drop down another size. I think size 69 might be a bit thin.

My earlier post had "132" which was a typo.
