Always good keep it up. Been using tiger for a while now ..excellent thread and super strong. People say it's expensive ...I guess it is in business but hobby use I think it's worth it. When you consider the amount of labour time hand stitching something then surely it's better to use a premium product than have a failure that you have to repeat. We all seem to know the Cost of everything these days .....but forget the Value in things and people.
Oh Berkeley, I can't agree more with you. This is exactly what I am talking about. Yeah if you are making lifetime leather goods, few buck don't matter. it''s the quality that last with your work.
I started out with flat threads and found that it lacked style...i gate the way they lay. I like the way round threads look so much better. If iam gonna use polyester thread and not linen thread... I love Wuta leather round threads. I own the entire color range in their round .45mm, .55mm and their .65mm. It is perfectly waxed ( internal) it doesn't twist up, knot up or slit, while sewing. I just don't like flat thread at all, tiger thread is nice... but I hate flat thread lol. ** update, I pretty much own all the Ritza tiger thread colors in many sizes.... so I pulled them out from my thread bin that has been under my bench for awhile. After seeing this vid, I pulled them back out and I think I fell in love with them again lmfao. I guess the cheap flat thread caked with pounds of wax in 1 inch of the thread, you could use it as a sticky 2x4 in your wall. I forgot how good this thread is.. thanks man lol
I have watched all of your videos and I honestly love the content that you produce. Always informative and a pleasure to watch. Please continue to put out excellent videos!
Thanks for the informative video. I want to get into leather working for outdoor materials like possibles pouches, leather fixed blade sheaths etc. What size thread are you showing here and what do you suggest and combined with what needle type and size
This is a great explanation of why my Tiger thread doesn't tangle like my other polyester thread does. I really hadn't thought about it before watching this, l just knew the one was faster than the others. I hand sew belt liners and believe me it makes a difference when doing several feet of hand sewing.
Hi that is very helpful, at present I am using a 2ply waxed polyester cord, the needles I have came from a handsewing kit. I am having a major problem threading the thread thu the needle eye, I just cannot accept that it has to be so difficult to thread a needle, I am going to try and access the ritza thread, how can I insure I get the right size needle for thread, it is extremely difficult just to get this information here in New Zealand..
Thank you so much for your informative and thoroughly thought out videos. Your homework allows me to make informed decisions in my purchases and I appreciate that very much. All the best to you
good video, thank you. i have a question about threads if i may: i have some cheap hand sewing threads that are flat and i don't much like them. i think i'd prefer a round thread. is the Rtiza 25 thread flat or round? i thought it was round but some suppliers say it is flat.do you have any thoughts on the flat vs round threads for hand sewing?
Hi I am new to leathercraft, I have a size 3 mm Crafttools chisel, what thread size and needle do you recommend? Or do you think I should move up to 4 mm and then same question, what size thread and needle? Any help is appreciated.
Could ve explained all in 2 mins with simple sentences. Its painful to listen to the same words all over again throughout the video. no consistency whatsoever.
All of my recommended lists are here: www.amazon.com/shop/leathertoolz

Greetings from Peru. a query. I use pricking iron 3.38. What size Tiger thread do you recommend for that pricking iron?

Tiger thread👌 the tangling would drive me mad. Thank you 👍👍👍

Thanks, Jimmie for the comment! I am glad my video answered your curiosity before even you thought about them! : )
What about misi thread is it good?
It’s a cable sheath.
Great video!
i find tiger thread .6mm to be too thick for 2.7mm and 3mm
Yeah kind of. it is for heavy duty work. so I think 4mm, 5mm works the best.
Thanks!

Did you tried "Fil au chinois thread"?From maison Sajou?
Yup, I did use them before but it wasn't my style.

My pleasure!
I know this is made 3 years ago... but have you heard of Maine Thread? If so, have you used it?
Sorry to bother you I have size 1.2 holes on my stitching punch what size thread do I need to get for this size hole
Any idea how well this will hold up for shoes? I intend to put a lot of miles on them and I want something that will last. Thanks!
The reason that thread frays and unravels is because it's not waxed like the tiger thread. No other reason
Excellent video tutorial! I learned much about thread.😊
Can you use that thread on apparel garments like dresses and shirts etc ?
Have you tried the "twist" brand of thread they sell on rmleather?
what do you think of the amyroke thread?
I haven't used them. I will try it in the future!
they use braided thread on bowstring making. stronger less stretch less wear
Спасибо! Заказал себе несколько цветов 0,6 нити...
Did you try WUTA thread?
Thank you :)
you are welcome!
I definitely see the difference.
Best thread on the market.
Great video thanks for information very useful !!
Thank you Glenn for the comment!
Hi I am new to leathercraft, I have a size 3 mm Crafttools chisel, what thread size and needle do you recommend? Or do you think I should move up to 4 mm and then same question, what size thread and needle? Any help is appreciated.
for 3mm Crafttools Chisel, Thread size 0,8 to 1,0 mm goes well.
for 4mm, if you make big good like bags. Thread size 1,0mm to 1,2mm
@@leathertoolz thank you so much for responding!! How about the needle size? Any recommendations there?
Great information !!
How does this compares to Fil Au Chinois Lin Cable?
oh Tiger thread is much better than Fil Au Chinois
Definitely the best thread, but so expensive (£25 for 500m) in the U.K., so doesn't get used on all projects.
They are kind of expensive but they are very nice!
Consider yourself lucky. A 500m spool is about 96GBP equivalent in Australia.
Love the product but its a prrmium price here in the USA
but the premium price you pay will last you longer than cheaper product.
Dean O; try Weaver Leather Supply, they have the Tiger thread for $7.70 for 50 meter spools.
Do you know what kind of twist is meisi threads?
It depends on their product I think. I have to look into them. I will make video once I can.
leathertoolz that would be awesome . Apparently they send sample box for free. You just have to pay for shipping
Also Buckly guy .com the absolute best in the world for leather.
Thanks Mike for letting me know, I will check them out!
