Doxnet Report post Posted August 14, 2020 Hi, I do sew with nylon V69, V92 and V138 on my juki Lu-563. I live in Canada near Montreal. A lot of sewing manufacturer can be found near me. I have found that the price is not the same regarding the same amount of thread between manufacturer. Example: V69 thread can be buy for 25$CAD to 60$CAD for a pound of thread... Witch me let me think: do I waste my money paying too much for thread? Is higher the price equal to higher quality? I cannot always have the information regarding the strenght of the thread and specifications to compare between the manufacturer. What do you guys think?

Ed in Tx Report post Posted August 14, 2020 I don't use that small of thread size, I normally use 277 and sometimes 207 or 346. In any of those thread sizes a 1lb spool of high quality bonded nylon thread runs around $25 US/$33 CAD. If you are paying as much as $60 for a 1lb spool your getting ripped off.

Matt S Report post Posted August 15, 2020 For comparison after tax I buy Coats Nylbond from my supplier at about £10 per king cone (1500m of tkt20/v138, 3000m of tkt40/v69). I think that those are 1lb each. Its top quality thread, never any problems with it. AFAIK barring UV damage strength of nylon thread is much of a muchness for any particular size.
