Thread for leatherwork?
EDIT: Sorry if the "thread/thread" title confuses, I could have stated it better. . .
Starting a sporran project that I'll share if it turns out well. I got some supplies from Tandy but am not pleased with the "waxed linen thread" that I chose. It looks great (see stitching test photo) but requires a humongous hole to pull the needle/doubled thread through. Needle size doesn't seem to matter, it's the doubled end of thread that hangs up.
I'm worried that the large holes will have negative effect on fur and finer/thinner leather used in some places.
What do you stitch with? Recommendations, sources?
A few scraps and my first ever stitching on leather:
