What gauge would be best for sewing a storage case? I need the thickness like zip-up bedding sets come in. Need durable-I want to store fabric bolts.s

I do not think this would work for you. I used it as a pattern overlay and it suited that purpose . It is durable but I think it would be very hard to work with...and it is probably not acid-free, which is recommended for fabric storage. I hope this helps.

I use it for thick layers. I take it to quilting class and I just finished a denim quilt made from old jeans

Hi Girard, That is hard to say because the thickness would not register on any ruler or measuring tape. But this is one of the thickest vinyl sheets/fabrics available. It can been sewn with a very heavy gauge needle or there are special adhesives which can joins seams. I used it to make an activity pad for my grand-nephew.

This is what I have that I store my thread in and the pairs fit fine in it. It really depends on what thread you use because some spools will be too tall. I've only had maybe two that wouldn't fit in the regular slots but the case does have 2 extra large sections that they would fit in. Creative Options Thread Organizer

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

I also sew - the board bends a bit. I'd be reluctant to apply too much pressure. I use my regular board that is set up in my sewing room.

I wouldn't depend on the staples to stay up for any length of time with the light duty version. Especially if the material you are stapling to is an exterior wood beam or thick siding (it wouldn't pierce the side of a vinyl storage bin which is why I purchased mine to affix a laminated label of the contents). Sorry if this wasn't the answer you were hoping for!

Good question! I bought this and overall I enjoy it. The thread is not great quality. It does tend to snag on some fabrics. I am not sure the makeup of the thread, but for the price - you would not expect top quality cotton. It is a fine started pack and once you are done with those spools, you can replace with cotton of your choice. It is a handy storage system.

It isn't the thickness you are looking for. But it is very durable. I use it for tying bedding packets, which consists of two blankets, a pillow, sheet, towel, wash rag and pillow case. It's good sturdy string.

HMMMMM..... I use these for just about every sewing/quilting job I have. BUT I'm using fabric, not satin cord or chain. You are concerned that they would crush the chain or cord? They should work great, but try w/ something not important first???

Hi there, this is quilting fabric. It might be better to find some high thread count sheets. That would keep the fibers in... Not sure this would. Hope this helps.

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

I haven't tested all thread. T-40 will be safe. Topstitching threads are also fine with an appropriate topstitching needle. Also when using heavier threads decrease the top tension and if using it in the bobbin, it may also need adjusting. Usually I keep two bobbin cases on hand, one specifically for T-50 and the other for specialty threads or heavier threads. I only use this machine for travel or just straight sewing. My answer applies to most home sewing machines with removeable bobbin cases. Happy Stitchin', BAMAY

I have used it to sew several thickness of outdoor plastic mesh fabric for fence panels with no problem using heavy duty outdoor thread. It was four layers with a layer of interface. It should accommodate 2-3 layers of denim or canvas.

These are excellent thread and will fit most modern machines. They are cotton so there is an increase of lint and "fuzz" in your bobbin case so you will need to keep the bobbin case wiped out depending on the amount of sewing you do. I would recommend at lease very project or so. along with the bobbin case, you machine will need to be cleaned out professionally every year because of the lint.

Our Eco Mattress Bag is 2.2 Mil, Non Vented ( meaning no holes) and is the thickest American Made Mattress Wrap on the market. Most bags are 1.8 and 2.0. We designed our bags at 2.2 to take the rigors of moving, storing and of course bed bug protection. Please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks

I purchased a thread storage box at Joanns. It is 10x11.5x3 inches high. It has standing spokes that hold 30 standard spools of thread with the handi-bob on top. I has a hinged closure and fits in a drawer, nicely. I didn't see anything like it on Amazon or on Joanns on line (just looked). Maybe it is only carried in the store. Works well for me.
