Members Django57 Posted March 19, 2013 Members Report 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
Tree Reaper Posted March 20, 2013 Report 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
Members Django57 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 20, 2013 Cheers Treee Reaper just needed a clarification . Quote
Tree Reaper Posted March 20, 2013 Report 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

Members pcox Posted March 21, 2013 Members Report 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
