Members RusticLeatherShop Posted September 4, 2018 Members Report Posted September 4, 2018 Hi, Look a this difference in appearance and Looks of the sewed thread and backstitching. On the left: Smartphone Holster is made with #25 Needle and #270 bonded Nylon thread. Wathch the thick uggly layers when backstitched to lock the threads. Color Plays a role as well. On the right: That Piece of leather is sewn with #23 needle an #138 bonded Nylon thread. Watch the allmost not noticeable backstitching (3 hole backstitch). It's way more beautifull than the thick thread. So there you have it. I believe I have solved my bad appearance Problem by using a finer thread which makes things way more elegant IMHO. The thread thickness and needle thickness makes all the difference. Quote
