Django57 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Been searching the forums for threads Linen and Polyester i found this stuff recommended on another forum but i haven't a clue if it would meet the requirements for sewing leather it comes in 0.8mm and in a few colours this a UK website so i don't know if there is an equivalent in the USA. http://www.force4.co.uk/9982/Marlow-Ropes-Whipping-Twine.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted March 20, 2013 .8 is heavy almost like string but I have stitched with it. That whipping twine for rope is on the heavy side. Most standard stitching thread will be between .5 and .7mm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tree Reaper Report post Posted March 20, 2013 If the project is large enough you can use it but it's a little overkill for the smaller pieces. You can buy it at Tandy in Spain. http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2012/01/20/465833/243294/en/Tandy-Leather-Factory-Announces-Opening-of-Leathercraft-Stores-in-Spain.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pcox Report post Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I figure .8mm is very close to 554/T600 or 8 cord. 1mm= .03937x.8mm=.0314. My chart said 554 = .0326 Edited March 21, 2013 by pcox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
