nevadabob Report post Posted February 21, 2016 New to all of this and am slowly procuring tools to make a leather holster. My question is....I'll be using either 8 oz or 9/10 oz product. What mm size thread should I use? Bought some 1mm thread off of ebay, will this be OK? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troy I Report post Posted February 22, 2016 1MM will work just fine...that is the size I use on all my stuff that is in the 8/10 oz leather weight class, sewn togeather, so I guess that would make it 16/20 oz weight class. A lot of what size of thread has to due with what you are making. If your product has a lot of pulling force on it, I would go up in size accordingly...if it is just a holster, key fob, belt...you will be fine with 1MM thread. Also, if it looks nice to you...use it!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nevadabob Report post Posted February 22, 2016 Troy...Thanks for the response & info. Nice looking holsters on the ebay site! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troy I Report post Posted February 22, 2016 The holsters on the ebay site are all sewn with #277 thread using a CB4500...I only hand sew for customers who request it and/or where I can't get to with my sewing machine...Thanks for your compliment. By the way #277 is a little smaller than 1mm. (I think) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
