panchoskywalker Report post Posted May 27, 2023 Hello, I went out of thread in the middle of a weekender bag. I was using wuta polyester thread, dark brown so I went on ali and boght a new spool but apparently they since changed their color set and the one I bought is darker than the original. This is the one I had But now the wuta thread looks like this: And this is the dark brown on my bag. I now bought a new one which is called caramel which is at the bottom next to saddle brown. Hopefully it is at least closer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frodo Report post Posted May 28, 2023 What you have now , instead of a weekender bag is a custom designed weekender bag with contrasting color accents charge them an extra $30.00 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted May 29, 2023 I have done something similar, make a nice fancy belt, only to realise I haven't got a suitable buckle or hardware to go with it...doh !! I've got into the habit now of checking to make sure I have all the materials I need to complete a project. Nothing more frustrating than running out half way through.

HS I agree Handstitched, my biggest complaint is the supply house not have the matching hardware when I am ordering. Nothing is more agrivating to me than to want all black hardware and find everything except D rings, then either changing the color or ordering from a different vender and eating the extra shipping costs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted May 29, 2023 @Frodo Hear hear !! When you have your mind set on a particular project, its always good to have more than one supplier, even as inconvenient as it is. I machine stitched a carved belt today, but, before I started stitching, I made sure I had enough thread to go sew the entire belt, I've been 'caught short' before. Even if theres a little bit of the colour of choice still on the bobbin, I wind on a new one to ensure I have enough. The lil' remainder on the other bobbin will still get used on small projects, it won't go to waste. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panchoskywalker Report post Posted June 8, 2023 Well I received a new thread, same brand, this one is called caramel, it is kind of whitish. Better than the first one but it is not the same. I decided to go on anyway. I'll share pictures of the bag once it is done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
