Members Halitech Posted January 14, 2016 Members Report Posted January 14, 2016 Looks like it really turned out good. I just changed from using Tandy's thread to buying from Maine Leather Co. Little more expensive, especially with shipping to Canada but worth it. And lots of color options as well. Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members MorningStarL Posted January 15, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks. I think four or five of his knives have sold this past week. That's a record. Pays property taxes and he was able to buy nickel-silver and brass, a bar of Damascus, and some yummy-looking handle materials. Next one that sells, we're buying more dyes, some new threads (and I'll look at Maine on line, thanks for that) and a couple of extra awls. I've been so unhappy with the last batch of thread I got from Tandy I keep meaning to write and tell them about it. Quote
Members MorningStarL Posted January 15, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 15, 2016 Halitech, how did you order thread from them? I'm seeing constructed items on the website, and those and leather scraps on the Etsy store, but no thread. Quote
Members Halitech Posted January 15, 2016 Members Report Posted January 15, 2016 Here is the direct link https://mainethread.com/index.php/waxed-polycord I've been ordering the 0.030" and it is a dream to sew with. Has just enough wax that it pulls through, does not split when you are trying to thread the needle but doesn't drag when you are pulling it through the hole Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members MorningStarL Posted January 15, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks! I'm looking now. Quote
