Title: suitable thread for machine sewing leather
Post by: jk1066 on October 06, 2019, 14:53:41 PM

I need to do a small repair to a handbag and prefer to machine sew. I have a leather needle and an old sewing machine - but which is the best  thread to use? I have sew all gutermann thread for most projects.
Many thanks Judy

I've never actually tried machine stitching leather, but I think I'd use Gütermann Top stitch or Gütermann Jeans.  Both are thicker than Sew All, therefore stronger.
