very helpfull. i like the heavy thread handsewn look since i used to handsew alot. I have gone to a thin thread and thick needle on shoe patcher since the heavier needle deflects less and causes less friction on thread and allows thread locks to pull in easier. I use a pfaff treadle on my 12" patcher. bobbin is small and m36 thread goes further.
