Members Darren Brosowski Posted April 1, 2015 Members Report Posted April 1, 2015 According to your chart the 8/3 is #345 but that does not sound right to me as I would have said 415 The /3 tells us that it is a three strand thread. Because of differences in density there are differences between thread types that hurt the brain This would indicate that the Juki cross references for thread in their brochure for the LU-1500 series I attached on this thread here is incorrect. I'm not so sure 8/3 is equal to a Tex 400 in a Polyester, I think it's a 207? If you look at various other charts, like the one attached to this post, it's confusing, but maybe no so confusing? They have metric sizes, but stated differently? I'm not sure at all here on this. BTW 5/3 is rope - not thread Quote
