coats bonded poly thread

[brmax]

Here is a place I went with though there are some others. It seemed pretty tough finding any coats brand in small quantites. Superior had good reviews and good service. I use 277 and not enough yet to make a big discussion but will stand up for them now. 

Good day there

Ferdco seems to have gone away, what's a good source of 207 bonded poly?

I buy bonded polyester thread (when I need it) from Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines, or from Campbell-Randall.

I can't speak for their polyester, but we had a bad experience with some, supposedly bonded, nylon from Superior. It was 2 spools of black 138, and although sold as "bonded", would literally unravel in your hand, as it came off the spool.  It also had a funny, "wrinkly" look to it.

We asked for new thread, thinking it was just a bad lot or something - The 2 new spools they sent were the same way.  It would start separating as it went through the machine tension - NOT good

Just sayin'

Have you found another replacement supplier for that color nylon. I had white 277 nylon from another company that didn't work out similarly so went with poly and havent looked back. Im sure many said the same with the cotton to nylon revolution. 

I talked to Coats here in the states but as a small quantity I needed they had gave me a few companies for these amounts. Even these companies wanted to sell a box "really".

I often thought like a lot of things if i just order a pallet load from coats it would be easy and just start puttin a sticker on it. As many others

Part of learning all the conections i suppose and working the field. I have enough to do now so dont need the added headaches. 

Have a good weekend everyone!

There are some leather makers that buy pallets or boxes of things and sell off what they don't need. You could use the Marketplace section of the forum to sell the unneeded spools of thread. You might even find members willing to go in on the bulk purchase..

I ordered from CR, we'll see if that's any good. Thanks for the tips.
