ps0303 Report post Posted August 17, 2009 Looking at The Thread Exchange for 277 bonded thread. They have Natural and then they have White. The white says the type is "soft" and the natural is "bonded." What's the difference? Using this to make holsters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra Steve Report post Posted August 18, 2009 Hey buddy, soft means that the thread has not been bonded. You want bonded nylon for holsters. It will allow the stitch to be consistent and stronger. Thank, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neelsaddlery Report post Posted August 18, 2009 Bonded thread has a special coating applied to the outside of the thread that makes it more resistant to fraying. Bonded nylon is a better choice for sewing leather items in general as opposed to thread that does not have this coating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
