Generally, as a thread’s size increases so does its seam strength and tensile strength. The most common thread size designations are Tex, denier, weight and commercial sizes (V). Thread size/thickness is based on the ratio of a fixed length of thread to its weight. For example, Tex is the weight in grams of 1,000 meters of thread.
If you use a #75/11 or #80/12 size needle for 50 weight thread, you should use a needle with a larger eye when sewing with a heavier thread. We recommend a size #90/14 when sewing with a 40 wt. thread and a #100/16 needle when sewing with a 30 wt or 12 wt. thread.
Bold colors with visible stitches allow for a dramatic contrast when sewing with Bonded #277. #69 is the standard bonded thread size used for regular upholstery applications. It's thinner than #277 (the smaller the number, the thinner the thread), but is still quite strong and can be sewn at high speeds without the worry of thread breakage. We ...
The first number follows the Gunze Count standard and indicates the thread size. The larger the number, the finer the thread (a 50/2 will be thinner than a 30/2). The second number indicates the number of strands, or plies, twisted together. It is obvious that a 50/3 is heavier than a 50/2 because it has three strands of a size 50 thread ...
When sewing on heavy leather, such as 12 oz. or thicker, we suggest sewing with #207 or #277. When sewing with thick thread such as these two sizes, the stitch length should be lengthened to help create even spacing. It's quite unfortunate if the stitches aren't even, as it could cause too much tension on the leather material itself lead to ...
We've created a reference guide to make it easy for you to know which needle size you should use with bonded threads. While needle style is vary based on machine make/model, material choice, and stitch type, the needle size is constant. Bonded threads are heavy and are usually stitched at a high rate of speed, so pairing the right needle to the ...

Top Thread. The thickness and material of the top thread can affect stitch quality and stitch balance. If the top thread is a thick, 30 wt. polyester thread and the bobbin thread is a fine, 60 wt. cotton thread, the top tension will most likely need to be adjusted (loosened) to accommodate an even stitch.
