Hi ya Brenda, Thanks for your reply I knew you'd clarify. Can i just confirm then that if i've got a sylko 50 for coats I can assume its the same w/cm as tootle sylko 50?? and vice versa for the tootle sylko 40??? I'll send you some of the JAS Pearsall & Co as well as a J&P coats 6 cord (40) 200 yd unless you can confirm it is likely to be same as 100m & 300m reel you quote. Can I finally confirm that most polyester sewing thread if unlisted is likely to be 33w/cm?

A bit more than a > metre helps if it is *very* fine, a bit less if its very thick. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of having no room left in your inbox?
