goldenstonebazaar Report post Posted September 28, 2013 If lubricated means bonded, The Thread Exchange has a lot to chose from, including trial sizes. Too stiff for hand sewing, but good for machine sewing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the response goldenstonebazaaar! Bonded doesn't mean lubricated. It means the fibers are bonded together to reduce fraying of the thread. Bob Kovar at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines http://www.tolindsewmach.com/thread.html has pre-lubricated nylon thread. Tandy has (or had) some too. I have a couple spools of white lubricated thread I got from them some time ago. It is lubricated with a silcone based lubricant. Bob (cowboy bob) may have polyester too. Give him a call.
