I ordered some last night to try. They run $6.99 a spool. Yeah, it's a little steep. But if I like it I will order larger amounts from Abbey. Full spools are $32. .06 a meter. Once you use it you will make drying lines from your Tandy stuff.lol Quote
Members Brianm77 Posted February 23, 2017 Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 There was some talk in this thread of the serabraid. It is real close to tiger. I posed more extensively in another thread about it. I have been buying from southwest sewing machines out of Houston. They have a few colors instock. What they have not had instock they have gotten from Germany and only took about a week or maybe a little more. And two several hundred meter rolls was about $50 shipped. In that thread there was another member (solar leather machines I believe) that said he sold it also. I really like it. If you would like to see some, I could pull 10 or 15 feet off and send you some. Quote

It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Brianm77 Posted February 23, 2017 Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 Well I got post a cerrection. The thread I thought was coming from Germany was actually coming from a wharehouse in the states. I called to order some today and the wharehouse did not have it in stock so that size and color would have to come from Germany. Quote

Amann-USA doesn't carry much large threads, so many times it's a custom order from Germany. I'm considering ordering a few lots, but I'd like to see who is interested here first. For what it's worth, it comes in several sizes. For hand sewing, I think Tex 750 or Tex 1030 would work best. Quote Alexander
Members Brianm77 Posted February 23, 2017 Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I thought it come in sizes 800, 1000, 1200, and 1400? Do do you keep any on hand? Edited February 23, 2017 by Brianm77 Quote

Do do you keep any on hand? Those are ticket sizes. The comparable Tex size that most are used to are 380, 500, 750, 1030. I don't keep any on hand. That's what I'm saying...that I'm considering doing so, but am trying to gauge interest. There's no point if it's only 2 guys. A case of this stuff is not cheap, and thread does have a shelf life.
