Description
Nylon Bonded Thread B69 (T70) – 100g Spool
B69 bonded nylon thread, also sold under the Tex size T70, is the everyday general-purpose weight for leather goods, footwear and medium-weight sewing. The bonding treatment coats the filaments so the thread resists fraying at the needle, feeds smoothly through industrial machines and lays a clean, consistent stitch. Supplied on 100g spools in ten colors.
Why choose this thread
- Bonded finish resists fraying and unravelling where the thread passes through the needle
- Feeds smoothly on industrial walking-foot, flatbed and post-bed machines
- Good quality nylon with consistent color from spool to spool
- Strong enough for leather and canvas while staying flexible in the seam
- Nylon construction resists moisture, abrasion and mildew
Best uses
- Shoe uppers, linings and general footwear stitching
- Leather goods – bags, belts, wallets, straps and sheaths
- Medium-weight garments and outerwear
- Canvas, webbing and light upholstery
- Costume, prop and film work where a durable visible stitch is wanted
