Hi,
I am trying to make a 1" webbing aider and I'm wondering what thread I need to use to safely make it. I have some thread now that I use for non weight bearing things that is pretty thin. Can I use this thread and just put more stitching into the webbing or do I need to go out and get heavier thread?
 
Not to sound repetitive, but dont trust a guy on the interwebs with life support thoughts. With that said, and at a very minimium, I would use at least 3 layers of stitching using no less than #69 Polyester thread. #92 or #138 is even better.

Also, be sure to calculate your breaking strength as it relates to what you are doing.
 
THE BIGGEST THREAD A STANDARD HOUSE MACHINE CAN HANDLE IS #69.A 1 INCH BOX X STITCH WITH #92 BREAKS AROUND 1800 POUNDS.THERE IS A SAILRITE VIDEO DEMINSTRATION .DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE.#138 IS WHAT I USE TO MAKE MY OWN TREE SADDLES BUT IM ONLY RESPONCIBLE FOR MY SELF.I TELL MY WIFE IF I DONT COME HOME AT NIGHT DONT SERCH FOR ME I WANT MY REMAINS SCATTERED NATURALLY BY THE CRITTERS.SO BE CAREFULL UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SAME FUNERALL WISHES
 
Thanks for the info. I'm just getting into sewing my own stuff and I really didn't know.
 
stich count per inch and more inces of stitch is where you get your strength.a box w stitch or box zigzagg equal more inches of stitch per box than a box x. a1 inch box x equals 8 inches of stitch. a box w 10 inches .zigzag 12 and up. typicaly a box .is double stitched on 2 ends equaling 6 inches not four.stitch size is typicaly 2.5 to 4 mill.
 
Tie water knots and then sew the loose ends with a x-box stitch (Square with x from corner to corner). You'll be completely safe and also have it "clean".
