Members Leaddriver Posted October 1, 2010 Members Report Posted October 1, 2010 I was reading an 1860's military manual and it lists Shoe thread and Patent thread for the saddler. My question is what is Patent thread? Can anyone help with this. Thanks Quote
Members Kevin Posted October 1, 2010 Members Report Posted October 1, 2010 Once again, I'm just guessing, but since shoe thread is just a single cord and you make up whatever multiple cord thread you want from it , maybe patent thread is thread already made to the size you want i.e. 4cord, 6 cord, 12 cord, for machine use.
