lb61906 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 Hey Guys, Looking to get my first set of Vergez Blanchard irons. I mostly make smaller leather goods (wallets, passport covers, etc) and some tote bags. Not sure which size would be the best place to start. I was thinking the #9 would be a safe set to start out with. Your thoughts? 6 Stitches per Inch - Dist. between teeth 4.5 mm 7 Stitches per Inch - Dist. between teeth 3.9 mm 8 Stitches per Inch - Dist. between teeth 3.4 mm 9 Stitches per Inch - Dist. between teeth 3.0 mm 10 Stitches per Inch - Dist. between teeth 2.7 mm 12 Stitches per Inch - Dist. between teeth 2.5 mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
