Serafil in North America

[pokerinot]

Does anyone know where to order Serafil from? I'm looking for size 30 in colours. I'm in Canada but I'll order from anywhere but if in North America would be optimal. My google skills are failing me

I just Googled 'serifil'  and got this:  http://www.jpmsupplyco.com/search?q=serafil

I know Ed Raichert Sewing carries it.  They're in Phoenix, AZ.  Here's the website:

I spoke with them at a trade show in late February, and they said what colors they don't have in stock, they can get pretty quickly from the U.S. importer.

Late thank you to those who posted long ago!

Here's a picture of some thread in case anyone finds this post and is wondering.

I ended up ordering small quantities from Vacheta on Etsy and it is the most gorgeous thread! The 20 was not as large as I thought it might be though I would prefer the 30, I think. I am going to order some from JPM Supply Co. once I have set up an account to receive mail in the US (shipping price to Canada is mental!). The little spool I bought was $6 and more than enough to make a backpack.

The Gutermann Mara 30 thread is also very nice: it has a nice shine and visible twist. I think it is well-suited to clothing as its very slightly fuzzy (very very slightly, not like the thread at far right which is cheap polyester no-name from a local store labelled tex 80). It is slightly nicer than the Gutermann polyester "top stitch" thread that I got at a local fabric shop in tiny spools for $2 and about the same size. Once sewn they both look quite good as any unevenness off the spool is tamed by sewing.

The serafil is gorgeous, soft, shiny, no fuzzies, beautiful. I can't recommend it enough.

If you can't read my writing, from left to right it goes:

1. bonded nylon #69

2. gutermann "top stitch" (green spool at fabric shop)

3. gutermann mara 30

4. Serafil 20

5. Serafil 10

6. no-name cheap "tex 80" polyester
