Members Sanch Posted April 15, 2017 Members Report Posted April 15, 2017 Okay so everybody that uses tiger thread let's see if you can tell me the difference between what I purchased and and the true Tiger thread which was also a verified purchase! and here's two more pix So let's hear it if you use tiger thread please chime in!

bikermutt07 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Posted April 15, 2017 I just started using it myself so I don't know, but I like the idea of braided polyester with a continuous filament. Maybe set them both outside in the sun for a month. That may or may not make a difference. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Bigfoote Posted April 16, 2017 Members Report Posted April 16, 2017 Tiger thread on the left. I mostly use tiger thread, also use some of the Chinese stuff which doesn't have enough wax, it tends to slip off the needle easily. It's also a tiny bit smaller than the Tiger thread. Quote
alpha2 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Judging by the tiger thread sample I received, the tiger is on the left. Tighter braid, smoother surface. I would think it would present less of a possibility of snagging the thread when the second needle is put through the hole. Maybe not. I suppose it could just be more wax on the left thread, too.

Members Sanch Posted April 16, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 16, 2017 ok! great eyes and thanks for the replies! The tiger is on the left! I have sewn with both and the only discernible difference in performance the amount of wax Brand X has the slightest amount less. Color is more vibrant in the brand X but that could be due to the tiger being older another and the major difference is price, also possible time of shipping I did get brand X from a US supplier. I know US availability of the tiger thread is better than it used to be and given that the supplier of the brand X may not always have it is the only and biggest tradeoff. in my opinion Brand X is still penny for penny better $30.00 vs $4.00-282meters I will use it till it's gone Quote
