Review on 🧡 Polyester Leathercraft Small Waxed Thread: 0.8mm Thickness - Ideal for Leather Sewing by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for repairing leather furniture. Available in many colors. Very easy to use.

I needed to fix a 2 inch hole in my sofa where a seam ripped. I found a youtube video that recommended using Ritza 25 for this app: https://youtu.be/Y0EL7K2NhYs ?t=465 At the time of my search this brand was not available in Revain Prime and I had to wait longer for our Leathercraft yarn seems very comparable and readily available. satisfied with the quality of the threads. The amount of wax was just right. It was easy to work with and I got it on my needles on the first try. I was a bit apprehensive at first as this required a technique I wasn't previously familiar with; but this youtube video explained it very well: https://youtu.be/Y0EL7K2NhYs?t=1013 I also really liked that the thread comes in many different colors. Furniture, although it's a bit unusual that it's royal blue there After following the online tutorial on how to sew a saddle stitch, it turned out that a seam was almost indistinguishable from a factory seam: https://youtu.be/Y0EL7K2NhYs?t=4042 Also, since I used synthetic thread, I briefly heated it with a lighter after it was tied. That should fix the knot a little better. Let's see how it behaves over time. I definitely recommend this thread, although I sincerely hope I won't need it for many years to come.

Pros
  • Sewing
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
