    Thread Material: When sewing leather bags, it's important to use thread that is specifically designed for leather and other heavy fabrics. The two most commonly recommended thread materials for leather are:

    • Polyester Thread: Polyester thread is a strong and durable option for sewing leather bags. It's resistant to abrasion, UV rays, and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor and everyday bags.
    • Nylon Thread: Nylon thread is also a popular choice due to its strength and durability. It's known for its resistance to stretching, making it ideal for bags that might experience tension and stress.

    Thread Size: For sewing leather bags, a thicker thread is generally preferred. The thread size you choose depends on the thickness of the leather and the design of the bag. Look for threads labeled with a higher denier (thickness measurement) or a thicker thread size number.

  • Fabric Bags

    Thread Material: The choice of thread material depends on the type of fabric you're using for your bags. Here are some commonly used thread materials for fabric bags:

    • Polyester Thread: Polyester thread is a versatile option that works well on a wide range of fabrics. It's strong, durable, and resistant to UV rays and moisture, making it suitable for various types of fabric bags.
    • Cotton Thread: Cotton thread is a good choice for natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and canvas. It provides a more textured look and is great for achieving a rustic or vintage appearance.

    Thread Size: The thread size you choose depends on the weight of the fabric and the design of the bag. For fabric bags, a medium-weight thread (around 40wt) is often suitable. Adjust the thread size based on the fabric's weight and your desired level of durability.
