Riambsc LeatherWorks Report post Posted July 4, 2014 Hello to everyone! I just got signed up for the site. I am glad to have found such an exhaustive wealth of info and people so willing to share! I wanted to let you know that there is an equivalent to Tiger Thread here in the States. It is called Amann Serabraid. I am carrying it you can do a search for specs or I can put up more complete info if there is interest? I can take some photos of the color card too? There are from 30 to 46 colors. It is a high end German made product and used by companies like Audi I am willing to send out some 10 yard samples if anyone is interested in trying it out? I am new to the site and trying to figure it out so as I do I will update my profile. Right now a 500m cone of 1mm Serabraid would cost about 50 to 60% of what Tiger thread is being sold for in the lower 48. If you want to leave me a pm here I will get back to you as soon as I can? I would post my email but I am not sure if that is within the rules? Thanks, Riambsc LW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troy I Report post Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Ya I am interested in getting some samples I use 1MM a lot Samples would be nice...the only thread I have used for hand sewing is a heavy nylon waxed thread I got from Springfield. Would love to try something else. I can PM you my address if that is ok. Troy Edited July 6, 2014 by Troy I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TXAG Report post Posted July 7, 2014 I'd like to try some out in either 0.8mm or 0.6mm if you have any in that size please... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramrod Report post Posted July 12, 2014 i would like to get a sample of .8mm any color....is this prewaxed like tiger thread? i'm assuming no. but not a problem for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cem Report post Posted July 12, 2014 I'd like to try some out in either 0.8mm or 0.6mm if you have any in that size please... It only comes in 0.8, 1, 1.2 and 1.4 for the smaller sizes you probably will have to stay with Tiger. i would like to get a sample of .8mm any color....is this prewaxed like tiger thread? i'm assuming no. but not a problem for me. Serabraid comes in lightly waxed, heavily waxed and water repellent. The heavily waxed is the closest to Tiger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riambsc LeatherWorks Report post Posted July 14, 2014 Hello I would like to apologize I had a unforeseen personal family issue(s) happen over the weekend of the fourth and I have been taking care of that and my computer died. I am just now(afternoon of the 14th CST) getting the laptop up and running. When I got outlook installed and running I saw there were messages from this forum. I will go thru the messages as soon as I can. The photos I took are on the dead pc so I will have to retake them and get them posted as soon as I can. I am not experienced in how internet forums like this one or twitter or Facebook works and my ignorance slows me down. I still have personal things that I will have to be taking care of over the near term. I will send out samples of 10 yards of either natural white or black thread to up to 50 people in any of the weights(0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 mm) for free. My email is riambsc@cfu.net if anyone has any further questions. Again Sorry and Best Regards, RLW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramrod Report post Posted July 26, 2014 i would also like to know how i can purchase this product. do you have any info on pricing and who carries your product? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverwingit Report post Posted July 30, 2014 I'm always looking for a better thread solution and $45 a spool without overseas shipping is daunting for me. I'd love to try the 0.8 and 1.0 mm sizes. I too will pay for shipping. I'd just ask that you send enough to complete a project so I can go beyond simply testing a few inches of stitching. Many thanks, Michelle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawcustom Report post Posted August 10, 2014 Just had to improvise a smaller thread and turned to my archery tackle box. Center serving seems to be a great alternative and I would doubt you'd find a tougher thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
