Thread - best place to buy from

Post by mtbmarkymark »

I just bought a 1000m reel ( cop ) of Coats Epic 80 from Pennine Outdoor. It's ok but i fancy a something a bit thicker for a heavy duty project i'm starting.
Does anybody know of a good source of a slightly thicker polyester thread.
Cheers

Mrs BrownDog actually works for Coats and I just KNOW she'd be bigging up the Epic 80 or something even stronger if she wasn't at a concert with our daughter. What are you sewing? I'll put the hard word on her tomorrow and see what she comes up with. She's always bringing stuff home so she may be able to snaffle something gratis.
