Making some more mods on my Anderson. My mom had a sewing machine so I want her to do some sewing. What type of thread should I use? It’s going to be my bridge so I want some heavy duty stuff? I’m curious what the manufacturers use

So are you sewing a piece of webbing onto the Anderson to serve as a permanent bridge? If so, That needs to be very carefully thought out. Can you post a couple of pics showing your plan. If you're doing what I think your are doing, I wouldn't use ANYTHING less than a T90 thread with the appropriate type of stitch. I'd actually prefer a T135. Your mom's machine likely will not run either unless it's an industrial.
 
This is John Eberharts. I want something like this for the bridge.

Ok, so basically 2" webbing passed through a metal slider, and then sewn back onto itself. That's a good way to do it. It allows you to have a good amount of stitch-able area for your bar tacks/box stitch/zig zags. I still HIGHLY recommend T90 thread or bigger. If you're having any reservations at all, please PM me. You can't afford for these two sets of stitches to be inferior in strength in any way. I'd be happy to help you out with this.
