TinkerTailor Report post Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) www.Cansew.com I am always on the lookout for other colors of thread, and new, better and alternate suppliers. I Found Cansew online, So I did a web inquiry on their website, because they said to inquire for color charts on size 207 and above bonded nylon. I reluctantly put in my address, which i never do on an online form, and forgot about it. On Monday i received an email, stating my sample would be sent out on Wednesday. It included the contact info as well as the cell number of the west coast rep. Nice. I get home from work on Wednesday to find a fedex door tag. I track it and it is my thread sample and it is listed as a 2lb box....... At my door Wednesday morn....Wow that was fast. I had to tell Fedex to wait until this morning (Friday) to try again. When it got here this morning this is what was in the big box: It is 3 (2oz or so?)small spools of 69, 138 and 207, a glossy catalog of all their sewing supplies, and a heavy card stock thread sample chart, made with the actual thread. THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE. They won my dollars. Next thread and supplies purchase goes their way. The other guys (who have got a chunk of my money already): And just for fun, a heart shaped brand on a piece of burgundy chromexcel: Edited January 8, 2016 by TinkerTailor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonydaze Report post Posted January 8, 2016 I used to buy from Cansew's warehouse on Veneble Street. I liked their thread but the pricing got prohibitive, so I changed to other sources. I haven't checked them for several years, how is their pricing now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't checked them for several years, how is their pricing now? They are not far off the other suppliers of heavy bonded nylon, from what i have seen. The market gets scarce bigger than 138, both in suppliers and color. To be honest i did not know of the Vancouver warehouse until i got this sample. Their website makes it seem like their brick and mortar stores are all east coast. I am going to stop by probably monday and see whats up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
