Big Sioux Saddlery Report post Posted September 3, 2019 I know you have had a bad experience with Weaver, but they may have some. I use their nylon thread almost exclusively, and have found it to be very consistent. I use mainly black and white thread however, and colored thread is notorious for causing issues in a machine that otherwise has none. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Report post Posted September 3, 2019 I probably have a few spools laying around if you aren't looking for a supplier. Would have to dig a bit to see what the size is if you are interested. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I DID check on it.. and they DO have a "burgundy" and it IS purdy close to the shade I want... then realized it's only in #69! ###$@#%$! I give up.. I got some sort of some shade of brown that isn't drastically noticeable. Yeah, kinda glad they didn't have it... cuz Weaver really did irritate me purdy good... don't care to go back- ever.

That spool looks awful BROWN to me. Maybe I drop em a line and ask if that really the wrong pic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite often the difference between printers ink, thread colours and colour on a screen are 3 different things. Whilst they might be trying to show burgundy, your screen colours might be off a tad.

It is cheap and strong but it stretches a little compared to Tiger thread. I can't complain too much about it. They have a burgundy in the mix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've ordered good stuff there before, but larger sizes are limited colors - just like everywhere else! As long as I'm complaining, I'm still wondering why it's so tough to get 794 series needles in #23 too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What point are you wanting? I got some with an LR point, and I think an S point also. Pretty sure they came from Weaver. If I remember correctly, you prefer a different point than either of those, so that might be where you run into the difficulty. Yep, just looked in Weaver's catalog. They have the 794 in #160 in both S and LR points, and the 7x3 nylon round point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Yer memry is impressive. Or do I really make that much noise LL point is nice don't like the girly "lacey" slant that comes from LR's, plus they tend to ride higher, don't pull down as nice as LL's. The S is better, but too much "space between" stitches Edited September 5, 2019 by JLSleather attach Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Oh, BTW -- I did find somebody selling these in packs of less than 100. Ebay user, service is pretty quick -- but only has #24, #25, occasionally #26. They have been "out of stock" on teh #23's for like 3 years https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Organ-7X4NW-DYX3LL-794LL-Leather-Point-Sewing-Machine-Needles-Singer-Consew/400730390609?var=670274800836 Edited September 5, 2019 by JLSleather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
