sutures for sewing leather
« on: February 10, 2020, 01:10:49 AM »
I need some advice. I like the work of leather workers like Joe Mills, and would like to try stitching with suture needles and the appropriate weight thread, but have no idea what size that would be. Any suggestions?

On my Joe Mills bag he suture stitched with pretty heavy waxed thread of about .025 or so.
