Source for servo motor with boxing day deals?

I like bonded polyester for a couple of reasons. It comes off the spool / bobbin more evenly and stands up to bleach much better then bonded nylon did. My stuff is mostly dog related items of thick multi layered, multi type material that does push the limit of what I can stuff under the foot of my machine (Juki 1541s). The thread has to be able to withstand multiple washing/disinfecting/drying cycles (50 -60) in a eight week period. I would be lucky to get one 8 week cycle period out of bonded nylon before some items would need thread repair or replacement. Changing to Coates Dabond bonded polyester thread has significantly reduced thread fraying / failure and now items get at least 3 eight week cycle periods before they need thread repair or replacement. Just my experience.

Bonded polyester thread has less stretch than bonded nylon and is UV resistant. It has marginally less breaking strength than the same size in nylon. It is primarily used in Bimini covers, sails, tarps, tents, awnings, motorcycle seats and outdoor furniture. It is at least 10% to 20% more expensive than bonded nylon.

I keep a couple of spools of #92 black and white bonded polyester thread on hand for jobs that are regularly exposed to the sun.

From what I recall, Cansew thread is top class stuff. Colors match across sizes and the bonding was very good when I last had some. They are mostly setup for the garment and upholstery trades and preferred to sell in quantities for less common sizes and colors. You may save money by setting up a wholesale account with them, then order a dozen spools at a time.

Nice! Where did you get your Coats Dabond from?

Got them off Kijiji there were 50 - 1 lb rolls individually factory sealed from someone who bought a shop and didn't need / want them. So since I was looking to replace the bonded nylon with something that would stand up better I gave it a try. For the price not much to lose if it didn't work.

Thanks Ron! You're right, my mistake as I had the motor in my cart at the same time. I saw after that it was $12.
