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)

I bought this to fix a rip in my new tent. Very sturdy thread and should work great. Haven't yet used it though.

It's thread. unfortunately, wrong shade of yellow. I am returning it.

We bought this thread to do some repairs to our pontoon seats. I was glad that it wasn’t too thick to use with my home sewing machine. Since it is a bit thicker than regular thread, I did need to refill the bobbin quite often.

Thread appeared much darker than the spool of different branded and color name thread I received and couldn't use. Turns out brand and the name of the color matters not at all. I now have 2 identical spools of unusable thread. All of which is just the risk of buying thread on the internet.However it still gets 4 stars because it's (they're) very fuzzy. I'm not expecting and don't want bonded thread but this stuff is positively fluffy. Loosely twisted. Makes it hard to thread and plays havoc at high tension on both my Consew and Brother industrial machines. As it stretches over time it gets significantly thinner. So, the tension disks don't apply as much resistance. So, you gradually increase the tension to maintain the same stitch appearance. Until the tension is released by thread breakage or needle change etc. Now you turn the tension down and then start the gradual increase cycle again. Maddening.

I bought this thread to use with Sunbrella fabric. It works great for that and I now have enough thread to sew 500 more lounge covers. Maybe a thousand.Being new to sewing I wasn’t sure if this would fit on my machine. The pictures made me think maybe it would. It won’t. So My next order was for a cone thread holder. I’m pretty sure that purchase makes me a professional seamstress!The thread has been in the sun for a week- not nearly long enough to determine it’s UV resistance, but even if my cover falls apart, I have 1400 more yards of thread to repair it with.I included a photo for all you amateurs to see how big this spool really is.

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.

I used this thread with my Brother Strong and Tough sewing machine to make my purses and wallets. It’s the best thread! I t works so well with a no. 18 needle, walking foot, longest stitch on my machine and biggest tension setting. I hope if you are trying new projects like I am you will try this thread. I just ordered different colors for my projects. Give it a try you’re going to be glad you did!

I own a Custom Canvas And Upholstery Business, and I fabricate boat tops. My customer wanted a "Mocha" canvas top for his 30 foot SeaRay Yacht. This thread matched it perfectly.! He was so happy, which made ME happy too.!!
