Members Flattracker Posted April 6, 2014 Members Report Posted April 6, 2014 Does anyone know where to get #15 thread (somewhere between #207 to #138 US I think). Also what's the difference between Core Spun Polyester & Bonded Nylon. Abbey England sells both these in a #20 size so may need to get that instead but not sure on Polyester v Nylon. #15 thread is about the thickest this machine I'm looking at will take so want to take some down to the shop and try out and see what the stitch looks like. Thanks all. Quote
Members Sovran81 Posted April 14, 2014 Members Report Posted April 14, 2014 Since your name and interests says "Motorbikes" I am going to guess you wish to sew bags and seats for outdoor use. Polyester is the only choice. it is more UV resistant than nylon is. Hearing tools and personal belongings clatter to the road behind me would really ruin my day. Other than that I cant help with UK suppliers or thread sizing. Quote
Members kikilamour Posted April 29, 2014 Members Report Posted April 29, 2014 I get all my thread from Abbey. Just ordered some bonded nylon for new machine. Call them if you get confused or need advice x Quote
