zuludog Report post Posted January 27, 2022 I have used Tandy's Waxed Nylon Thread SKU 1227 - I like it, I think it's underrated, and a small roll is cheap enough to try They also sell Ritza, aka Tiger Thread, which is good and popular I haven't used any of their other threads; I'm afraid the only way to find out is to buy & try for yourself -- but ask them nicely and they might just send you a metre or two of each to try - they can only say no Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
