Izzy, if your travels take you to Winter Park i have seen kevlar thread in Skycraft on Fairbanks at I-4. Don't remember how much it was other than it was black but if you are in the neighborhood anyway, Skycraft is a good place to waste an hour or two and at least $20.

That packet of needles looks like a good set. I really like glovers needles for any soft leather repair or reinforcement. Harness needles and an awl are perfect for harder leather.
I few meters of those threads would be great. Upholstery thread or button thread is very good to have for webbing buttons etc. The standard stuff for lighter fabrics.
I take a business card and fold it over itself (glue in the middle), cut a spool shape in it and wind on various threads. Works great.

Good on signing up....welcome.
Cutting with an ulu can employ a variety of motions. Rocking it through, pull or push all work depending on the item being cut.
For leather a rolling rocking motion works perfectly. You can follow a pattern easily and you do not stretch the leather out of shape while cutting it.
