Members Sovran81 Posted February 20, 2014 Members Report Posted February 20, 2014 I am going to be starting a new project and have only used bonded nylon. I was wondering on the durability to abrasion and softness of poly. Poly would be better for the UV characteristics, but I need a thread durable and soft also. How does poly compare to nylon in these areas? Quote
Members Red Cent Posted February 20, 2014 Members Report Posted February 20, 2014 I use polyester in my Cobra 4. Black and white and no trouble. Back when I was using nylon, I was having some stitching problems but I am not sure I can blame the problems on the thread. I did some radical adjustments on the tension and now no problems other the loose screw behind the wheel. What are you sewing?

Members Sovran81 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Members Report Posted February 20, 2014 I am actually going to braid the loop of a replaceable cracker whip with it. Not the cracker itself, but the loop which is braided into the thong of roo. I figured I would get better answers to durability and softness here. Quote
