Bonded Nylon Sewing Thread Size #138 T135 1250yds for Outdoor Upholstery (Dark OD Green)

This is a good Quality bonded nylon thread #138 (aka Tex 135 or FF Military thread). I use it for my Cowboy 4500 saddlery sewing machine and it works wonderfull. Better than the #277 the machine came with. This is however About the smallest thread one can use on this Juki TSC 441 clone machine (CB 4500). The tensioners have to be set at the least pressure (although even #69 thread could work eventually but this #138 is really the minimal regards strength) and like that the machine will give way better results (better stitch lines and better stitch Quality on both sides) with the #138 thread instead of the #277 thread. Specially with lighter leather (like 4 to 5 oz leather) this #138 thread is the way to go with best results. But be advised that FF thread (#138) is weaker - rips easier, which happened only once to me till now - than 4 Cord Governement thread (#277) but gives a better Looking stitch.Quality wise this bonded nylon thread is the way to go but I feel it's a bit overpriced per roll since for propper use on the CB4500 machine, you Need 2 rolls of the same Colour since unthreading the machine is not the best way to do Things. So one roll for the bobbin and another one for the machine is the way to go and considered that These should be a bit cheaper like 5$ per roll since you probably will order a few different Colours.But it's a fairly strong thread size for normal leather work (you dont wanna go with any less than #138 thread, since those are less strong and could comprimise your work). Quality wise it gets 5 stars but regards pricing it gets 4 stars.

Excellent quality and the price is even better! I use it for eapadrilles and it is amazing!

This stuff is great. I use it in my fisters hand crank sewing machine. (Bought on Amazon) I've made belts and holsters and the stitching looks really nice.

Great durable thread

Great for upholstery.

This thread is not the typical stiff bond. Only to be used in bobbin.

The only detail that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the fact that both spools I've used thus far have had knotted splices in them. This causes a momentary issue when sewing and could create a flaw in a customer's product.

Great
