DIY watch strap question...

Quick question for the watch strap DIY'ers...

 

Caught this "how to" watch strap video series on YouTube:

In the 4th video from the series, the craftsman uses a diamond stiching chisel. I can find chisels but I'm unsure of the proper size. What is a good middle of the road size for a (2) or (4) pronged chisel?

Second question....

 

What's a good thread thickness for that type of project?

For a chisel set I ended up getting this and it works out pretty good. Gives you a good amount of options to test out and see the difference.

This is the thread thickness that I started out using and it looks pretty good.
