Cebwrd Report post Posted September 12, 2015 I understand that Toledo Sewing is a preferred vendor here. But i"m looking for small quantities (8oz spools) of various colors beyond black, white & brown. I've tried the thread exchange and various ebay vendors. What a nightmare. I've ordered bonded nylon and gotten cotton, mislabeled wrong sizes and lot's of other headaches. Local vendors are useless. Can anyone share where I can get red, cardinal, grey ect in sizes 92, 138, 207 and actually left hand thread? Is that even available anymore? My manual says the thread must be "left hand twist" and I understand how to check it. But most of what I received in right handed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted September 13, 2015 Spool of thread has two ends, spool end and the machine end. Grab spool end of thread in your left hand and machine end in your right hand. Turn the thread in your right hand counterclockwise looking at the machine end. If the thread in between your hands tightens, it is left hand or V thread. If the thread in between your hands loosens, it is Z or right handed thread. Order thread by V and a dash and then the size, e.g. V-92 for left hand 92 commercial thread. Don't order ANYTHING on special. Most important, order by telephone, not on a website, and if they screw it up, send it back. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
