roggie Report post Posted January 17, 2018 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesc Report post Posted January 17, 2018 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roggie Report post Posted January 17, 2018 Thanks mike from another mike. Would you care to add a good place to purchase also. There are some pretty talented people here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesc Report post Posted January 17, 2018 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 . http://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/21-suppliers/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
