Riemer Report post Posted August 31, 2013 Is the 1mm thickness comparable to the Tandy braided polyester cord or will i have to go thicker? I have a caliper and it looks like, when laid flat side down on the table, the tandy stuff measures 1.2-1.3mm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonymcvay Report post Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) I have a few rolls of the 1mm I bought direct from Abby England. It ended up being around $32.00 a roll with shipping and all. Actually received it 3 days after ordering. I have been using the Tandy stuff which I believe is 1.2 and the 1mm Tiger thread I cant tell much difference in size in my opinion.The Tiger thread is definitely 10 times the quality and is a dream to sew with. And note .2 mm is just short of .008 thousandths of an inch. Which is just over the thickness of 1 human hair.

Funny he's got the same profile pic as you in here But yeah, the prices seems definitely better than the other suppliers on Etsy which are charging 10$ for 20 M.
