You might want to keep your eyes peeled for a needle and awl harness stitcher. They were built during a time frame when waxed linen thread was the normal thread.

Members sbrownn Posted February 15, 2019 Members Report Posted February 15, 2019 I've been running the 0.6 mm Tiger thread in my Campbell and it seems to work just fine and looks great. I use it on the bobbin as well as the top. I was running it off a 25 yd. spool to try it and planning on switching back to polyester when it ran out but after looking at the polyester stitching in comparison I decided I am going back to the Tiger thread. The bottom stitch is much nicer with the Tiger than the with nylon, polyester or linen. I have a piece that goes from machine to hand stitch and back to machine and it is really difficult to tell when one stops and the other starts. Quote
