PhreeZone 20 #3 January 7, 2003 For non certified stuff like sewing freefly tubes and stuff I found upholstery thread to be an excellent alternative to costly E thread.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #4 January 7, 2003 Some Riggers only need a little bit of thread of a particular color and don't want to foot the bill for an entire roll. I have heard that some manufacturers will sell partial rolls to Riggers for just that reason. Give them a try!?!?Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #5 January 7, 2003 Look for size 69 nylon upholstry thread. Just don't use it on certified parachutes. Para-Gear often unloads old odd spools of E Thread for low prices, as long as you don't mind neon pink! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #9 January 7, 2003 Your welcome. They're useful for other things. Geared to sell to manufacturers but individuals welcome. I buy bits and pieces from them all the time. Of course they're also friends. Some things are only in bulk, like velro. But it's the gooood velcro.I'm old for my age.
