TKLeather33 Report post Posted November 25, 2013 I was just on the Techsew website that was advertising thread. They all say that they have size 135 but no 138 is this a misprint? and where do you guys get your thread and what is best to run through my machine in a 138 size.

Wizcrafts Report post Posted November 25, 2013 135 is a Canadian/European measurement thang. It is actually size T135 which equals B138. It's like the difference between dynes per cubic kilopasqual vs. inches of Mercury, for barometric pressure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverCity Report post Posted November 25, 2013 Go though Bob at Toledo industrial. Cowboy Bob on this forum. I've bought thread from other places in the past, and you can tell when thread is old. It unravels and breaks easy etc. Bobs stock rotates itself often, so it's nice "fresh" thread. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They all say that they have size 135 but no 138 is this a misprint? and where do you guys get your thread and what is best to run through my machine in a 138 size. 135 and 138 are pretty much the same thing. 69=70 90=92 135=138 207=210 346=350 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J Hayes Report post Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Superior threads as well, I got some really nice 277 in pink from them, $23 and shipped for $3.95 I think. They had more colors in 138, price on the pink 277 was best I found 2-3 months ago Edited November 27, 2013 by J Hayes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) One more nod for the thread exchange. Lots of sizes and a wide range of colors. Shipped quick. http://www.thethreadexchange.com/ And, temper this with the thought that if where you bought the Cobra is treating you well, and has the thread you need, thre's something to be said for loyalty Edited November 27, 2013 by JLSleather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra Steve Report post Posted November 27, 2013 We use Eddington thread with all of our machines. They are in the U.S.A. and been in business for 150 years. We have had no problems whatsoever with their thread. They are comparable to Rice thread, for those who remember Rice thread. We also recommend the Thread Exchange for different colors.Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
