What is the Difference?

Hi.. I have always purchased Gudebrod Thread for my wrapping, but what is the difference between my rod-building thread and my wife's 200 different colors of embroidery machine thread? Could I use her thread in a pinch or am I opening a can of worms...Thanks Tom

Do a search here on Madeira and Sulky and you will have all the info you could ask for.

If your wife's thread is treated with agents to enhance sliding thru the thread managers of a sewing machine, they may not absorb CP or epoxy as they should. Splotchy color and eventual water infiltration are two possible problems. Heed Upton - Search. -Cliff Hall+++

Tom, what does your wife use? Madeira polyneon and Sulky metallics are widely used. I haven't noticed anything bad about Robison Anton or Coates and Clark poly. I've tried Gutterman thread with disastrous results, CP or not.
