ThreeRivers Report post Posted June 5, 2013 Been doing mostly various kinds of gun leather for awhile now, but all by hand sewing. I am in the process of buying a machine to get to the next level, which has led me to the subject of thread. There are a multitude of choices out there especially for a new guy to machine sewing. I managed to narrow it down to thread in sizes 207 and 277 based on some recommendations here on Leatherworker. At his point the choices get confusing: Nylon? Polyester? Bonded ? What recommendations do you guys have. I found this on eBay, one of many, any information/recommendations of this variation? In case the graphic it too small the label reads : American & Efird, Inc.,Mt Holly, N.C., Anefil Nylon, Bonded, White, 30001, ST277. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtclod Report post Posted June 5, 2013 I like the polyester thread the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longview Report post Posted June 7, 2013 I sew the heavier work with a Campbell needle and awl machine as well as a Cobra. I've never used bonded thread but have used a lot of nylon and polyester. I prefer the polyester. I've been purchasing it from Campbell Randall in Yokum, TX. www.campbell-randall.com/ Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
