But I bet they'd like to know if their brand name is being pirated. Searching for "Coats Industrial Thread" turns up nothing that looks like yours. The blue dot with the chain is something they use, but I don't see any like yours. Interesting. EDIT: A search for "Coats Star Nylon" turns up 1 junk seller on ebay with some. Nothing that looks like a reputable thread dealer. Edited May 27 by AlZilla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would also email Coates with a photo of the spool of thread showing labels (top and bottom), the mess it left on your machine and where / who you bought it from.
