Jim607 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Steve, will the Tex 70 thread work in a Singer 29K71. I'd love to get a hold of some if it will. I have been trying to locate some in my area - but no luck. I did buy a spool of nylon type thread from a local repair shop but all it does is ball up in the shuttle. Thanks Jim King, Elmira, NY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bisonmade Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Hi Steve, I have never tried. It is hard to get good quality bonded thread in colors. We had to order 40 cones of this stuff to get the colors and that is why I am selling some off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gump Report post Posted May 1, 2013 Jim; Tex 70 is ideal for use in a patcher, and they will handle 92 also. Gump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim607 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 Gump: thanks for the reply. I 'am guessing that the larger the thread size number the thicker the thread. What I was hoping for is about the size of the thread you use in one of the auto hand stitching awls. Would tex 70 be close to that. Thanks jim king Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks jim king The thread in the hand stitching awls is usually somewhere around a 207 or 277, too big for a patcher. At most you could use 138 in one but not all of them like 138.

Jim607 Report post Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks Billy. I guess I'm asking to much from the "old girl" .Most of the projects I've sewn has been by hand. Turned out fine but I was looking to speed things up a little. My wife has a couple tack items she would like me to try and my daughter who lives down there by you [Pittsburgh] wants me to try a holster for her new Ruger 9mm auto. I just got my singer 29K71 it works but I have a couple of bugs I need to address; the thread I have thread to use so far balls up under the shuttle and is to lite - plus the stitch length is way to short. If I could get a look see at the various size thread and numbers that go with them it would be much easier for me to pick out a suitable size if you know what I mean. Thanks a TON for you help I really appreciate it, Jim King, Elmira, NY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
