THREAD SIZING CHART 

Selecting the best thread and pricking iron spacing can be difficult. I created this video to help give you can idea of what each combination might look like in your project. This chart is intended as a guideline and I encourage you to try and combination that best suits you personal style. You can also watch the video below for a walkthrough of what I use.

xTOOL

We use a laser machine in the studio. It has become an invaluable tool in our process, if you are considering one for your studio we strongly encourage you to consider an xTOOL.
