Selric [1500Yards / 20 Colors Available] UV Resistant High Strength Polyester ThreadII #69 T70 Size 210D/3 for Upholstery, Outdoor Market, Drapery, Beading, Purses, Leather (Black)

This is a strong thread and is a good choice where exposure to sunlight (UV damage) is a consideration. I've used it on synthetic 340gsm/10oz canvas duck and you can get by with 110/18 (125/20 is better) needles BUT watch out for your needle heating up in heavy tightly woven fabrics. If it frays at the needle, it's probably due to a hot needle. For a 210D/3 rating, it's relatively thin when compared to other threads in this category but not at all weak. It's just a very fine twisted construction. When cut, it will immediately fray (it's not advertised as a bonded thread) so give yourself some working room when cutting it. If you don't have a spool stand, you can tape a bamboo shishkebab skewer to a standard soup can and then tape a safety pin at the top, using the eyelet of the pin as a thread guide so you can use this size of spool. Great value for the price. I strongly recommend an oldschool needle threader for this thread because an autothreader may fray the thread. It's a quality product and has earned the 5 stars I've given it.

Nice and heavy. It worked well in my basic sewing machine with a heavy duty needle. I sewed screens together, and they are now around our boat house on the lake in Florida, keeping the birds off of our boat. It has only been outside for a week, so I do not know how it will hold up, hopefully very well....for years.

Beautiful and strong

Exactly as described, but pay VERY close attention to the description. This is Selric's "Polyester ThreadII", which the detailed description notes is more loosely twisted than their "Polyester Thread" (without the "II" on the end). "Loosely twisted" is perhaps a bit generous. This stuff wants to untwist as soon as you clip it. That should make it softer than a more tightly twisted thread would be, but less durable and much harder to thread your needle. If that's what you want, great! Unfortunately it's not what I wanted, so I'll be trying either the non-II version or a bonded polyester next time.

I used this thread to hand repair a carpet corner. It was easy to work with. I am glad that I ordered this spool yardage, as in the future I will probably be repairing three more corners. It is quality.

Strong, durable, and ideal for all types of upholstery work.

I was using this to sew together a cover for my RV seat. The color was perfect! It said it was upholstery grade, but while using it with my machine, the thread kept bunching or breaking. It would have worked well if I was hand sewing something, but didn’t quite work as well as thicker threads I have used that were also upholstery grade.

Buen producto

Mon fil est finalement arrivé, après une erreur de colis...conforme à la description...
