What thread would I use to line a gun belt ?

[Sorcerer1]

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 ?

what thread do you normally use to sew things together?

# 400 nylon  1/2 oz .

I'm assuming that is a machine thread. 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 . Been having health problems that cause a drop in my activities .

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?

Personally, . . . I use all 346 thread, . . . for belts, knife sheaths, holsters, and gun bags.

It has held up well so far, . . . 

May God bless,
