Description
Nylon Bonded Thread B46 (T45) – 165 g Spool
B46 bonded nylon thread, also sold under the Tex size T45, sits between our lightweight B33 and general-purpose B69. It suits light to medium weight sewing where you want a little more strength than a fine thread gives, without moving up to a heavy stitch. The bonding treatment coats the filaments so the thread resists fraying at the needle and feeds cleanly through industrial machines. Supplied on 165 g spools in black and white.
Why choose this thread
- A useful middle weight between fine and general-purpose 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
- Nylon construction resists moisture, abrasion and mildew
Best uses
- Light to medium weight leather goods
- Garment and outerwear seams
- Linings and interior construction where extra strength helps
- Light canvas and webbing
- Costume and prop work
