100% polyester thread for all of our uses. I prefer Gutermann Tera 40 for straps but Mara 70 is more than adequate and is a better choice for other projects using fabric.
However, standard weight 100% polyester thread like Mettler Metrosene Plus and Gutermann Sew All can be used as well with a few more stitches.

I use nylon upholstery thread. It's pretty heavy but will stretch some rather than break like some smaller polyester. Polyester is more abrasive resistant but won't stretch.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."
