updn Report post Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Hi I am luckily enough to buy a cobra 4 leather sewing machine, and I want to imitate my hand sewing with my ritza 25 waxed yarn, I use 0,8 or 1 mm. Is it Polester TEX 207 or 277, and which needles do I use. Can I use these needles size #24 or #25 Leathermachineco.com I found lots of info about yarns on this site but no comparison to tiger ritza hand waxed yarn Edited February 4, 2018 by updn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P, S or SD are better for leather. Conical point R blows out the back of the leather instead of cutting a slit. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
