Hi,
Trying to find a supplier for some Ritza 25 Polyester thread, sometimes called Tigre Thread.
At the moment Abbey Saddlery in the UK is not stocking the 1.4mm size that I need.
The maker, Julius Koch, is not replying to emails at present.
I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of an alternate supplier for the following :
Ritza 25 100% Polyester Thread, Colour 7 (Mid Brown) 1.4mm wide manufactured by Julius Koch Gmbh.
Best wishes,
Peter

A big thank you for your help & advice. It's age & wear by the looks of it.
Studying the parts manual now.

Recently obtained a Singer 29K72. All appears to work well except the length of stitch adjustment.
Even though I move the stitch regulator as far down as possible so that the point of the arrow is below
the 5 stitch mark, the machine stitches at 7 to 8 stitches per inch.
Moving the regulator up to the 7 to 8 stitches per inch position results in stitches on top of each other.
Something somewhere is out of spec.
I have a 16 page Service manual for the machine but can find no other stitch length adjustment information.
Really need it to do bigger stitches so any advice would be gratefully received.

I would also be interested to hear an answer to the question. Recently got hold of a refurbished Singer 29K72.
As I have only hand stitched up to now I have no knowledge of machine needles & threads.
My question would be ; what is the heaviest thread/needle combination that anyone uses on a regular basis on this machine?
With that knowledge I can order some needles & threads to practice with.
Best wishes,
Peter
