Members TKLeather33 Posted November 25, 2013 Members Report Posted November 25, 2013 I was just on the Techsew website that was advertising thread. They all say that they have size 135 but no 138 is this a misprint? and where do you guys get your thread and what is best to run through my machine in a 138 size. Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted November 25, 2013 Moderator Report Posted November 25, 2013 135 is a Canadian/European measurement thang. It is actually size T135 which equals B138. It's like the difference between dynes per cubic kilopasqual vs. inches of Mercury, for barometric pressure. Quote
Members RiverCity Posted November 25, 2013 Members Report Posted November 25, 2013 Go though Bob at Toledo industrial. Cowboy Bob on this forum. I've bought thread from other places in the past, and you can tell when thread is old. It unravels and breaks easy etc. Bobs stock rotates itself often, so it's nice "fresh" thread. Chuck Quote

Members Jimbob Posted November 27, 2013 Members Report Posted November 27, 2013 Go to the "Thread exchange " website and buy literally all colors in the rainbow in 138 and about any other size there....they are in North Carolina and have tons of info on their website...well prized too !! I buy only from them and never had an quality issue so far !! Ohhh these Canadians...hihii.... Jimbob Quote
Members J Hayes Posted November 27, 2013 Members Report Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Superior threads as well, I got some really nice 277 in pink from them, $23 and shipped for $3.95 I think. They had more colors in 138, price on the pink 277 was best I found 2-3 months ago Edited November 27, 2013 by J Hayes Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 27, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) One more nod for the thread exchange. Lots of sizes and a wide range of colors. Shipped quick. http://www.thethreadexchange.com/ And, temper this with the thought that if where you bought the Cobra is treating you well, and has the thread you need, thre's something to be said for loyalty Edited November 27, 2013 by JLSleather Quote
Cobra Steve Posted November 27, 2013 Report Posted November 27, 2013 We use Eddington thread with all of our machines. They are in the U.S.A. and been in business for 150 years. We have had no problems whatsoever with their thread. They are comparable to Rice thread, for those who remember Rice thread. We also recommend the Thread Exchange for different colors.Steve Quote
