Hello All

[roggie]

Hey guys, I'm new to sewing and have bought a LU 562 that I am learning on. a bit of a learning curve but have figured out a little. I want to sew canvas and some leather for the things I need to make, what would you suggest for thread for canvas that would used outside. I think 10oz canvas. Been reading a lot of this site and have learned a lot already. thanks

Polyester thread ( better protection against UV than nylon ) #69 or #92..and welcome :)
Floyd does a lot of canvas for exterior I think, he could advise you on specifics.

Thanks mike from another mike. Would you care to add a good place to purchase also. There are some pretty talented people here.

Ah..where to purchase from in the USA I couldn't say ..I'm in France, but, I do know that the advertisers here and thus supporters here are based mostly ( maybe all of them are ? ) in the USA ( their banners are "up top" ) many of them sell thread, and if they were too expensive, or sold junk we'd have heard about it ( and we haven't :)), so I'd go with them, whichever has the colours that you want and is nearest (for the shipping )..you may get more recommendations if you re-post your 1st post ( with "where can I get polyester thread" tagged on at the end of it in the "suppliers" section .
