dfrensdorff Report post Posted October 22, 2015 Hello All.......I have a Cowboy 3200, and have been sewing with 207 & 277 black and white thread that I purchased from Neels when I bought the machine.....I have since purchased a 1/2 lb. spool of red 207 off ebay.......It does not seem to stitch as nicely as the thread I purchased from Neels. Is it my imagination, or could a cheaper/less quality thread cause problems? Thank you for any and all info. and advise.........Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoMama Report post Posted October 22, 2015 There is a big difference in threads and it is more than just sewability. I started off getting cheap thread because it was convenient and cheap from Superiorthreads.com. Their "Bonded Poly" was not bonded and frayed as soon as it was cut. Not to mention, the black thread bled all over the Yellow 40oz PVC I was sewing. I've since switched to Coats Dabond and don't have any more fraying or bleading issues, and it does not jam up the machine like the cheap stuff. Sourcing it can be difficult in single spools, especially in the larger sizes that you are using or special colors. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
