If you give it a try, can you let us know how you get on and what they have on offer?

There's another supplier through 'Etsy' that has 50M samples and 500M spools.

Price seems good.

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.

Not much of a site unless you want DVD's and books on saddle making. ?????

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.

How many did you buy in order for them to come out to $32 a roll?

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.
