Members Sorcerer1 Posted August 18, 2017 Members Report 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 ?

Members Halitech Posted August 18, 2017 Members Report Posted August 18, 2017 what thread do you normally use to sew things together? Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

Members Halitech Posted August 20, 2017 Members Report 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 Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

Is there any reason why you think you can't use it? 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 .

Members Halitech Posted August 26, 2017 Members Report 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 Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members Dwight Posted August 26, 2017 Members Report Posted August 26, 2017 Personally, . . . I use all 346 thread, . . . for belts, knife sheaths, holsters, and gun bags. It has held up well so far, . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.
