Members r lenna Posted January 11, 2014 Members Report Posted January 11, 2014 I'm not used to the sizes that you are using I would use a 346 weight that I think is about .6553 to a 415..07118 It depends as to how you want the stitiching to stand out. The 346 is about the smallest I would use. Of course here you could ask ten different people and get as many different answers. Rob Quote
