TYPES OF THREAD THAT CAN BE USED TO SEW GENUINE LEATHER BAGS

 Many questions may arise about what kind of thread is used in sewing or combining patterns using genuine cowhide so that it becomes stronger and neater. Another question that will arise will also ask, is the thread used the same as the thread used to sew clothes or shoes?

When sewing genuine leather, of course, the thread used will also be different from the thread used to sew the fabric. The threads used to combine pattern after pattern in leather bags need to be durable and long lasting, so that the end result will also have a long lasting durability. Therefore, it is obligatory for the craftsman to decide on a different type of yarn, because of the thickness of the type of material as well. However, the yarn also depends on the material, size and color of the yarn itself as well.

Types of Threads Used To Sew Genuine Leather Bags

When you want to sew a briefcase that can carry a laptop (briefcase) made of genuine cowhide, of course you want a strong thread to unite pattern after pattern from the bag. Actually, in the world of leather craft there are two popular types of threads that are often used in combining leather patterns, namely Bonded Nylon and Polyester.

Bonded Nylon or Nylon thread is very widely used and also dominates in leather craft work. Nylon is widely used because this type of yarn is relatively inexpensive and has durability and durability that is quite strong and easy to use.

Meanwhile, this polyester thread is almost like nylon thread, however, it has higher durability because it has resistance to UV rays and mildew. However, it does have a price difference with nylon thread.

Both of these yarns have the same two variants, namely, waxed and non-waxed threads. Both can be used in sewing or combining leather materials. In the process, if you combine or sew using a machine, it is better to avoid threads with wax variants, and it is better to choose non-waxed ones, because if you use waxed variants, the wax layer contained in the threads will clog and make the sewing machine jam.

Yarn with the wax variant, is indeed made more rigid, with a small stretching force so as to reduce the tensile strength so that it is more durable, rot-resistant and also resistant to water

Yarn Colour and Size

In choosing the size of the thread, it must be adjusted to the thickness of the leather it self, and according to what will be made, for example a leather bag for traveling.

Yarn measurements will vary, for example using Nylon or Polyester threads. But most threads are measured in millimeters it will be useful to focus on the converted numbers.

Recommendations for making small products from genuine cowhide such as passport wallets from genuine cowhide, key chains from cowhide, or small sling bags from genuine cowhide can use sizes 46 – 138. These sizes are also very safe if used with a sewing machine and can pass through without any problems.

Medium weight leather is recommended to use sizes 138-554. For items such as belts, suitcases, genuine cowhide backpacks. Even with this size, you have to use a sewing machine with a commercial style.

And for heavy leather sizes, you can use a size 207 and even more, this type of heavy leather is usually used in making booth shoes, or horse saddles. This size also cannot use a sewing machine.

Yarn Color and Shape

In choosing the color and shape of the yarn will usually depend on what will be produced. If you don't understand the color and shape of the yarn used, the resulting product will be less aligned and less attractive. Therefore, an engineer must understand very well the match between the color and the type of yarn that will be used in a production project.

If we use white thread in the production of dark blue or black leather wallets, new motifs will emerge in the final result. Likewise, if you choose dark brown thread on blue leather, it will make the item seem "dirty". This can help in choosing the color variations in leather products on how contrasting or not the color choices are.

Not only the color, but the shape in the yarn selection will also give a different impression or appearance, both flat threads and cable threads.

The flat thread is 8 mm and is round in shape while the 5 mm cable thread is like a regular sewing thread.
