JoMama Report post Posted August 29, 2014 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"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted August 29, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnv474 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoMama Report post Posted September 3, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
