PlanoMike Report post Posted October 9, 2021 I've checked The Thread Exchange and Superior Thread for #69, #92 and #138 Nylon and Polyester Threads. They don't have the colors I need. Can someone suggest other thread suppliers that would have a bigger color selection? Thank you, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You didn't mention the colors you would like. Two things that can make your project, needles and thread. Buy brand names for both. Needles: V69 thread minimum size 16 V92 thread minimum size 19 V138 thread minimum size 22 Thread: The brand of thread that has never failed me is American & Efird ( www.amefird.com ) which is made in both Canada and the USA. These guys have put some engineering effort into designing their threads. For the type of thread and specifications go to ( www.amefird.com/products-brands/industrial-sewing-thread/ ) and select Fiber type or Application too see which thread specification meets your needs. For colors go to their color card section ( www.amefird.com/color/color-cards/ ) for that type of thread. In Canada it can be purchased directly and I assume it would be the same in the USA. Their threads are not cheap but definitely beats not having to deal with the frustration and eventual throwing out of a spool of cheap stuff because of inconsistencies or quality. I think they supply thread in 1 lb sizes not in 8 oz spools which maybe a downside for some. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danne Report post Posted October 15, 2021 The sizing (#69, #92 and #138) is specific to sewing machine thread? I'm not familiar with that terminology since I don't use a sewing machine. Also not sure about suppliers and prices in US. But Amann Serafil have 240 colors, and prices are good (at least here in Europe) A very durable thread. I know it's a thread that is popular in the European automative industry for car interiors. https://www.colliniatomi.it/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=serafil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
