fredk Report post Posted September 25, 2020 Both are good but I prefer polyester. Mainly Gutermanns Top Stitch thread. Gutermanns because they've been supplying thread to the auto industry for over 100 years. If its good enough for BMW, Mercedes et al its good enough for me.

But I saw a documentary from a Porsche factory and they used Serafil. So my guess is one more good option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
