Thread for sleeping bag project

[thejones]

I am looking for a suggestion for thread to use on a sleeping bag project, not sure what to look for, other than not a light cotton type. What thread would you suggest?

I could send you a some #46 nylon for the price of shipping if you decide to use that size. I don’t use it anymore, but it should be plenty strong for your use. PM me if interested.

Do this, nylon should be your only choice.

I use gutterman extra strength polyester for all my outdoor sewing projects.

I would stick with synthetic as stated above. I used gutterman Mara 70 which worked nicely.

The thickest Gutterman Mara your machine will run.

Yeah mara 70 or 100 would be perfect for a bag

Yeah I'd go with Mara 70 for this type of project. https://ripstopbytheroll.com/collections/thread-tools-repair/products/gutermann-mara-70 That is what I've used for the one quilt I made.

I've used Tera 80 for projects like tarps and backs.
