It looks really big for the SPI you're using and does not resemble the 0.6mm ritza that I have it looks more like 1mm+. It could also be because its not pulled tight because the leather is too thin.

Here are some images of some of my stitches with 0.8mm Ritza:

Your stitching is beautiful. What are the items you stitched in the pics? I just ordered some Tiger thread and I'm researching what size thread to use for different projects like wallets, knife sheaths etc. Mostly small items.

Hello group,  I just received some size 415 braided that is available in either waxed or bonded sold by J&S thread supply but I got it from a pack goat web site.  From J&S it is $38.95 a pound.  It is either brown/black/white/tan.  I got the black and it is shiny and really sews well in a size 27 need 214x1 on a 45k1 and looks incredible.  I also got size 277 but it is not as noticeably flat as the 415.  I will get tan next.  This stuff is USA made   I'm sold on it  !!!!  I'm considering in investing in a compound feed machine even though I'm only doing heavy waxed canvas with the thread now I like the idea of a machine that can do it all.  I'm considering a double needle shuttle hook but I think it is allot more expensive.  Is that un-necessary with a drop down roller foot like on the Cowboy cb-4500 for a clean double row of stitches on a pocket?  My concern is the roller guide not working right on pocket attachment and a double needle that could also work single as more appropriate....sorry to shift from the thread top to also machines after adding the thread info.  Back to Amman that braided thread confuses me as the J&S is available from 207 in all the steps up to 415.  This Amman site is nothing short of confusing on their smallest size which I think is about 415 (and it is round not flat)  Best regards, Mike
