PATENT LEATHER NEEDLE?

What starts on Usenet, stays on Usenet. Is your "patent leather" real leather or man made synthetic? Are you hand sewing or machine sewing? Repair or new construction?

Man made patent leather and machine sewing.. what needle should be used?

I usually use aleather needle for this sort of thing, and a longer stitch length. Needle size will depend on weight of fabric and type of thread used...

HEY, THANKS FOR THE REPSONSES and the rude ones as well. I was just trying to ask a sewing question about patent leather, trying to make a purse for my small granddaughter, and had no clue as what kind of needle I should use and then all of a sudden it struck me WOW I can look online, people who sew would know the answer. I DIDNT realize that IT WAS TABOO to ask for a direct answer my email. SORRY I WONT BE BACK. 1st time here, LAST time here.

Don't get too needled ;-) Newsgroups are about sharing information and ideas, not private correspondences, hence the comment about email.
