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

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 4, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted September 4, 2019 What I used isn't really objectionable, but I was looking for something along the lines of this. Git it??. "along the lines"... thread.. ugh- no matter. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

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 "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

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
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 5, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report 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 "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 5, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report 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 "Observation is 9/10 of the law."
