Members BustedThumb Posted May 13, 2010 Members Report Posted May 13, 2010 I got a big spool of black thread from an ebay grab bag, no idea how old it actually is. Problem is it breaks very easily. I've determined it's impossible to saddle stitch with, even doubled up and twisted, I got about 12 stitches or so and it snapped. how long does unwaxed thread last? Is the whole thing just rotten or what? Quote
Members Kevin Posted May 13, 2010 Members Report Posted May 13, 2010 I got thread from a grab bag deal once and after I pulled off the exposed layer, it was stronger underneath. But it was cotten so I'll never use it anyway. It should have been thrown away, not sold. Hey, anybody need 5 lb.s of seafoam green pre-wound bobbins? I should have known better... Kevin Quote
