Tiger thread questions,help please.

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I would like to try Tiger thread but I am not sure about the sizing.

At 6 SPI with 6-8 oz leather what size would you reccomend?

 

Thank you.

A good rule of thumb with Tiger thread is to use .8 for interior stitching lines and 1.0 for exterior stitching lines.

1 for 6 spi works for me. At 8 spi it looks chunKY. I'm new to leather but that's my observations so far. I'm looking for a 10 spi wheel or iron for some .06 I have.
