Can you post links to suppliers for those who are interested?

I use artificial sinew for leather work. It is available online from www.crazycrow.com and www.nocbay.com, among others.

Right, those are the best suppliers. I get most of my stuff from NocBay.

Thank you Barb! You just explained exactly why some of my colors of thread are a real pain to use, hand or machine. About half of the seldom used colors are cotton covered.

I have a question also. Why not cotton wrapped thread? I have been using it for years for modern and historic reproduction clothing without any problems. I also have an old kilt that I built 20+ years ago and it is fine and the thread did not give any trouble.

Just wondering.

Here is Barb's post on the subject from the old "thread, thread."

note that the new style Dual Duty does not fall into this category (now poly wrapped poly)
