Preparing to Sew
Choosing Thread Size
When sewing leather, the thread size used is generally selected for its aesthetic
look� In such cases, simply match the needle to the thread using the chart below�
If the needle or thread breaks during sewing, then it is necessary to go up in
size� If getting the desired thread tension is not possible (knot constantly shows
on the bottom) this is indicative of the thread and needle being too large�
For woven textiles, use our needle and thread recommendations available online in our “Thread & Needle Recommendation
Guide.”Youcanndtheguideoneveryfabricdetailpageorbysearching#300032XHTatSailrite.com.
