I just want to say that I appreciate your video so much! It was very overwhelming understanding what needle size, what thread for what leather to choose, but your videos are pure gold. Truly thank you.
I love your channel, thanks for it. In France, we call this eye/hole : "chas" , which is a specific word used practically only with needles. The ethymology is probably linked to "cavity" ("cavité" in french) (==> hole). The pronunciation is funny because you say it exactly the same way as "chat" which means cat in french.
This doesn't seem to be readily available information. So glad I found this video. I had hit or miss luck saddle stitching, sometimes it was great and other times very frustrating because exactly what you were talking about, picking up filaments off the thread when passing the opposite needle. Very informative video. Thanks
Great video thank you. I have some needles I've been using for a while but can't remember which ones they are, I've bought some JJ needles 002 and 004. these are still smaller than the ones I've been suning for 1mm Ritza. I think, after watching your video, I need to get some (18) 1/0 or maybe (17) 2/0 needles. Very informative, thank you so much :)
So correct me if I'm wrong, for saddle stitching with french style pricking irons (4mm) with Ritza tiger 1mm thread, John James 2/0 size would be right? Or I've got it all wrong?
I’m using John James 2 needle and 0.8 thread and I can’t get the thread through the eye of the needle? I even tried cutting the thread at an angle to give it a sharp point but still no luck
I don't really agree with everything here. Let's take an example. We make holes (punch all the way through) with a French iron with very little taper and a small prong width. So let's use Ksblade 3mm/9spi as example because the "prong width" is 1.6mm. If we use Lin cable (FAC) as example here, 632 (0.51mm) is a nice thread for this spi, and as you say JJ4 is a suitable needle. Since the needle go through these holes without problem with 632, it will be no problem using 832 (0.43) or even Meisi linen M30 (0.35mm) Personally I use 9-11spi (Ksblade and Kevinlee) and I use thread between 0.35-0.51mm and the only needle I use is JJ4. If the prongs are narrower with higher SPI, I can see the need of thinner needles though. But still a good video explaining different needles sizes, keep up the good work.
I have carefully examined my John James harness needles, of which I bought three packs in different sizes. I used a magnifying lens and strong LED lights. The needles seem identical. There is no 2mm difference in length between the different sizes I bought, number 1, 2 and 3. The eyes also appear identical. I have bought 75 identical needles and they are all too small for my thread! Time to try another brand. EDIT: Looking at JJ's own needle charts on their website, the specs for size 1, 2 and 3 type L3912 Harness needles are identical. All three sizes are in fact 54 mm long. I'm going to write them and ask why they sell them in different sizes when each envelope contains the exact same needles. www.jjneedles.com/images/needles-guide/Hand_Sewing_Needle_Size_Guide_Type_Length.pdf

This video is the only one explaining sizes. Really big deal for someone needing the info. Thank you.
I searched for this kind of information for a couple of hours - then found your video. Thank you so much for publishing, very well done!

Man I come to to your channel every time I have a question. Thank you so much for sharing.
I believe that leather crafting is build on the small tips and details . and that's what are you providing on this channel.👍👏👏👏

Super helpful video!! Thanks for your effort in putting this together.
Here in Denmark we call it an eye, as well. And thank you for the video, it was very helpful 🙂
Looking forward to the saddle stitching video.
Very useful information for newbies like myself. Thanks
Fantastic, thank you!
thanks for doing this dude, it helps ah lot.

Can you share a Google Doc or something for those guides? Thanks
When you see 1/0 or 2/0 and so on we say Aught. So it would be 1 aught or 2 aught.
Nice Video, Thanks 👍👍👍
Thanks
Do you have the website for the SYSTEM S+U needles? Thank you
Thailand would call needle hole, instead of needle eye.
Niiiice, we have one right here, anywhere else?

I will show you soon
Imagine using that big needle to saddle stitch. It hurts just thinking about it 😅
Muito bom.
