GrayGhostForge Report post Posted August 28, 2017 Hello, Planning on making myself a motorcycle vest. I like the stand out thread design in the attached pics. Any ideas on the thread size used to get that bold stand out look of the thread? The one guy I asked said 277 thread. Thanks Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted August 28, 2017 Actually I would think 207 would be sufficient to get that look. It is apparently mostly denim with leather overlays, . . . Do you have a machine? Do you have access to thread pieces to try, . . . so you can see what you like? I can help you with the thread if you like, . . . just PM me. I need especially to know the type machine you will use. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingsCountyLeather Report post Posted August 28, 2017 That's a great idea! I've been wondering about threads sizes too. any chance you could take the same picture with a ruler beside the leather so as I have a guide of how many stitches per inch? Thanks, Ger.

GrayGhostForge Report post Posted August 28, 2017 Dwight - I have a 31-15 I'm aware its maxed out at 138 thread. Unless there is a mod I don't know about to let it topstitch with thicker thread. Bob - thank you that is very helpful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
