RoosterShooter Report post Posted May 1, 2013 Will the Singer 211g151 sew 8 to 9 oz. Veg tan reliably using 277 or 346 thread? I will sometimes double up the leather on my holsters as well. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted May 1, 2013 You'll be real lucky to use #207 on it.138 will work better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted May 1, 2013 If you must use your Singer 211 to sew holsters, restrict it to #138 thread and either sew through the same holes twice, or add a parallel row of stitches about 1/8 or 3/16 inch away. Tie off/overlap/backtack at the bottom outside row. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoosterShooter Report post Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks for the replies! I decided to " Buy once ... cry once" and I ended up ordering a Tippmann Boss. I had the opportunity to try one out at a local tack repair shop before I ordered mine. I think that the mobility and versatility of the Boss was the answer for me.
