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.
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 ...
