    Question Polyester Thread for Garment Sewing

    I have gotten into sewing clothes this last year, and the polyester thread at my local notion store is pricey. Does anyone know if the Connecting Threads pro poly cones would meet the mark for my garment sewing? Your advice is always appreciated! Thanks.

    I believe the CT polyester is 70 wt, which might be too weak for garment sewing. I like Glide polyester, which is 40wt, available here: http://www.bobbincentral.com/glide.html . However, they have a minimum order.

    Thanks for the site also. It seems that this glide thread is made in the USA.
