Tenara M1000H is similar in weight to V-138. Breaking strength is 15 lb while V-138 is 21.2 lb., but Tenara does not lose strength over the years. Heavy Tenara thread requires a needle size of #19 or #20. Smaller needles may cause skipped stitches and/or the double ply thread to unravel above the eye of the needle.
