I am going to try my hand at making a plain sheath for my machete. I wondered if someone could recommend what size needles and what weight thread I should use. I have no idea what I am doing. :)

Thanks!

I use a waxed iris linen thread 4 ply #18 (0.82mm0 with a #0 or #1 harness needle. Our resident grumpy old man uses a #3 or #4 harness needle but he is much better than I am at it.
