Wouldn't go any lighter than the 207 on edges, but a lot will depend on your construction approach. Can you post pics of what you have done in past?

Also, need to read up on owner's manual to make sure you know what the mfgr. recommends for different material thickness and temper. Can make a huge diff. in between expected and actual results. Keep in mind there are diff. needles for diff. threads and materials.

All that being said, I pretty much use 207 on everything I do and buy bulk spools.

Paul will give good/better advice on this as he makes a heck of a lot more sheaths each year than I do.
