Sorcerer1 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 As the title suggests . I will be hand stitching a liner to a gun belt . 9/10oz . belt and 4/5 oz . liner leather . My thinking is thinner rather than heavy . But I'm pretty new to this part of the craft . I have stitched one other belt but not this heavy so ?

Halitech Report post Posted August 20, 2017 I'm assuming that is a machine thread. Is there any reason why you think you can't use it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No reason other than ease of doing it . Pulling a lighter thread seems it would be easier as I will be hand stitching it . Sorry for late replies .

Halitech Report post Posted August 26, 2017 sorry to hear about your health issues. Far as the thread, I can't find any #400 thread info so I'm not sure how thick it is. I usually buy my thread in either 0.8mm or 0.030" but I can't compare to what you are using. What brand is the thread you are using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
