    Thread and needle combos

    So I tried to create a spreadsheet based on what I found here, on reddit.com/r/myog, and on the Gutermann website.

    Let me know what you guys think, what I need to correct, what I could add, etc.

    Not to complicate things for you, but I have found variation based on needle brand.
    I sew things on youtube.
    I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.

    I'll assume Schmetz as a baseline.

    Just getting started in this stuff, so trying to compile my research. No sense reinventing the wheel.

    This is great! I came to similar conclusions just working with different needles and thread but this is a nice reference so I don't have to question needle size for every new project.

    Let me know if you have anything to add.

    I'm thinking of breaking it up further by material type, and number of layers. Say someone wants to sew 4 layers of 1.9 PU-coated ripstop, etc. Unfortunately, I have very little experience thus far, and compiled this based on various threads (joke) on here and reddit.com/r/myog
