Selric[1500Yards / 36 Colors Available] UV Resistant High Strength Polyester Thread #69 T70 Size 210D/3 for Upholstery, Outdoor Market, Drapery, Beading, Purses, Leather (Silver)

When this thread arrived I was a bit worried because it seems thinner than I expected. But then I found it to be very strong, so being thin and strong makes it easier to use. Works well on the bobbin.

This is the third I order this thread. I make totes with burlap coffee bags and I needed a strong and thick thread for the job that wouldn't be too costly. After researching on Amazon and reading lots of reviews I decided on this one.My first two orders perfectly fine, I was able to even use this thread for finer details without compromising the quality of the final product. I was so happy that I placed another order.Except that this time I was having a lot of trouble with the thread knotting up, unraveling, and fraying.I had several orders to finish up and deliver before Christmas and no time to wait for another order to be delivered.So I got online and went through reviews again to see if I had missed something, anything. And I am so glad I did because I had in fact missed the main thing, which was to use the appropriate size needle for the thickness of the thread. This is a T-70 which requires either a size 16/100 or an 18/110.I was using the 16/100, which worked for the first couple of cones I ordered, but oddly didn't work for the third time around. Upon switching to a size 18/110, the very same cone that was giving me so much trouble was working without any problems, no unraveling, no knotting up, no fraying. I was able to finish up all my orders and keep using the thread with no incidents whatsoever.This thread is a great value for your money. It is super strong, and there is no way you are able to break it using your hands. With that being said, if it gets knotted it will most likely break the needle before the thread breaks off. that's how strong it is.So if you are having a problem with fraying and knotting I would check your needle size to make sure it is appropriate. Just because you used the same size tread from another brand with a specific needle size does not mean that you will be able to use it with this thread as well.I have sewn several bags with this thread and they are SUPER strong.I will update this review if I have any problems in the future but in the meantime, I am ordering more of this thread in different colors.I am very happy with it and I do recommend it!

This thread is nice & strong for jeans. Its smooth & as long as u use big enough needle works flawlessly. Really nice color for jeans & have also used on leather.

This is very heavy duty thread on a large spool. I like the way it sews on my heavy duty Singer machine, which can be particular about tension with lighter threads. No problem here! The spool it comes on is large and doesn't fit either of the spool holders, horizontal or vertical on my sewing machine. The bottom of the spool is open, and I used my 3D printer to fashion an adapter for my vertical spool holder. This could probably be done easily with cardboard and hot glue, but it would have been nice if the spool came with a smaller hole in the bottom.

I made cloth flowers and needed a stronger thread. Sometimes it’s hard to thread the needle because it separates, but otherwise it’s a good product

This is my first experience using #69 thread so I have nothing to compare with and can not comment on whether or not this actually is #69 thread as some other reviewers have. I had a project that involved sewing 500D Cordura nylon and #69 was the recommended thread type. I knew I would have to purchase in a larger quantity than I was going to need so I shopped for price, that’s why I purchased this specifically.Here’s my experience... I was using it to sew 500D Cordura Nylon and 12 oz. denim on a Janome home sewing machine using a size 16/100 needle. The thread consists of a twist of three strands. When cut the strands want to unravel unless you use VERY sharp scissors. This can make needle threading challenging. The thread is very tough; you won’t be “unsewing” by pulling seams apart, have your seam ripper handy. Sometimes the threads will “fuzz” when going through the eye of the needle and if the machine hasn’t jammed when you noticed it then it will unless you cut the thread and rethread the needle. The thread requires a MUCH higher tension setting than usual, definitely test on some scrap and adjust before beginning to work. I don’t believe this is a problem with my machine but a function of the thread; I could not do a tight zig zag (about 1 stitch length) without the machine jamming and making a bird’s nest on the underside. Wider zig zags were okay (about 2 1/2).That’s my experience. Would I buy this again? I just did, I needed another color for a new project. I’m giving it five stars because I don’t know any better not having had any other experience with #69 thread to compare this to.

I like the amount of thread, the strength, and the durability, especially for working on heavier material or weather-resistant material.

The thread I received looks identical to any other generic Chinese polyester cone and there are no claims of UV resistance anywhere on its label or packaging. It is safe to assume this there is nothing especially UV resistant about this thread other than that its polyester.That said, it is strong and low lint thread that works nicely in my olde machine and is about as cheap as thread gets.

Son de muy buena calidad

Used for sewing leather goods works very well

Good quality thread for using with vinyl or thick layers
