Looking For A Thread Source

Recommended Posts

So I got some #92 and #138 black polyester (Solar Gaurd) from Superior Thread and the stuff is bleeding all over my yellow 40oz PVC material and leaving all kinds of fuzz balls that also bleed.

Where do you guys get your thread that is not made in China like this "not so superior thread"?

I use Cowboy thread and Weaver's bonded nylon and bonded polyester. I don't notice any bleeding with either. Weaver thread is more expensive though.

Coats/Barbour is, I believe, the largest thread manufacturer. I am almost sure they are our supplier of Star thread, which is nylon. I have never heard of bleeding issues. If you do not know of a local source let me know and I'll see if I can help from here.

Thanks for the replies. I contacted Coats and they recommended Ultra Dee and Dabond, since they use a better dye process that the chemicals in vinyl do not affect.
