Recommendation For Waxed Thread For Newbie?

[JulieP]

Hi,

I am very new to leatherworking and need to buy some thread. I am purchasing the Seiwa pricking irons-6spi and wanted to buy so .8mm thread. I will mostly be doing small projects. I watched Nigels video and liked the look of the .8mm. I found this thread on Amazon and wasn't sure how it is and was looking for any feedback. I am not to far from a Tandy but saw that a few people mentioned they were not happy with any of the Tandy thread.

The stuff on Amazon is called Usongs:

I'm don't need a ton of thread. Just something good/decent quality to start with until I get a bit better and can justify spending more.

Thanks so much for any recommendations.
