Members Mechanical Cowgirl Posted June 28, 2013 Members Report Posted June 28, 2013 I haven't sewn thin leather, but my mom does a lot of sewing (machine) and she often uses a smaller diameter thread on the under side than on the top. Maybe this would help in hand stitching as well? Just a thought... Quote

Only on machines or sewing awls do you have a thread that's only on top and one that is only on the bottom. (Lock-stitch) On thin leather, just barely snug up the thread else it will cause wrinkles along the stitch line. Tom Quote
