Just took a crappy pic of some items to show variation.  The chisels were 2.5 and 3.0 Tandy Craftool diamond type, the black ones.  The red thread is 1.0mm and the white is 0.6mm on the natural veg tan and 0.8mm on the razor cover.  I think the simulated alligator wallet ( my current daily wallet) is Tandy waxed awl thread, comes in a large spool and is three strand.  I actually like it and it is reasonably priced.  Bad pic, sorry for that, but hopefully helpful.

The card case on the top is .6mm thread?

 

This is the Tandy chisel I’ve been using, but only to prick the marks. Then I use this awl for actually piercing. Again seen with the 1mm thread

I have the same make iron but the spacing is closer.  Actually I have one same size as yours and I have used it on turned bags where the stitching really isn't seen.  The card case is done in 0.8 if I remember correctly.

I like the results from these.  If you want to buy wait until they go on sale or invest in the membership to get a discount.

Oh that far left one is .6, dang that’s tiny. I have another stitching iron with closer spi, but I didn’t like the holes it punched. I will give it a try as just stitch marking and punch with the awl. And get some more stitch practice that way

Thanks! What thread size do you recommend for those chisel sizes? I’m still not good with spi/mm

The 3.5mm used 0.8mm and the 2.5 used 0.6mm
