A seam on my hood has expired and getting longer. Does anyone have a recommendation on which thread to use to restitch it?

As an update; It was recommended to use braided fishing line. This is tonight's progress before lack of light stopped play.  |

Looks like ferny has the job well in hand to be fair. I'm curious how you're stitching it. Are you using two threads, or one? I'm guessing you're hand stitching it too, I can't imagine it would be any time saving to remove, dismantle, and run the hood fabric through a machine. |

Ended up doing the entire length and it took the best part of two days. I don’t ever want to repeat this job again! Passenger side needs doing though... 😪 Needs a clean and waterproofing now. Not great, but it'll do!  |
