Members Moti Posted April 14, 2023 Members Report Posted April 14, 2023 Two threads of the same size 92, but one of them seems to be thicker than the other way? Quote

The Bonded Nylon is physically thicker, stronger and to make matters more noticeable the Bonded Polyester is softer but handles UV and bleach much better. kgg Edited April 14, 2023 by kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

That's the thread I use just about always.

Sorry about that my mistake. Both are Bonded Polyester and then it comes do to how those are processed. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

The larger one, the top Sunstop is 8oz based on the marked length and the bottom one says 4oz, so that's a smaller spool. I've never used Fil-Tek thread but have been very happy with the Sunstop I've been using. Black is always thicker/stiffer than the other colors I find.
