Ray-Way Sewing Thread

For all types of outdoor gear and clothing

We are selling what we consider the world's finest sewing thread, certainly far superior to that sold in stores. It has continuous fibers that are soft and very smooth. So it is less fuzzy than ordinary long-fiber polyester thread, and more resistant to sun rot. With this thread the seams are easier to sew, with fewer problems and less frequent cleaning and maintenance of the machine required. This thread is ideal for use with virtually all home-made outdoor clothing and gear, including that for camping, hiking, cycling, canoeing, and so forth.

  • Ray-Way Thread will save you time
  • It will save you money
  • And it will make your projects look fabulous!
  • Pro 800-yard spool in black
  • Our Pro 1 oz. spool holds 800-yards (eight times as long a football field).

    The Pro 800-yd spool is so compact it may not look like much, but imagine placing your sewing machine at one end of a football field, and rolling out this thread to the other end of the field - eight times! We don't know how much sewing you could do until you reach the end of the thread, but surely it would keep you busy for a while.


    Our Pro 800-yd spool fits most home sewing machines, whether the thread is housed internally (shown at left) or placed externally on a thread spindle (shown above).


    Ray-way Thread is suitable for making just about anything of an outdoor nature, including backpacks, tarps and net-tents, quilts, shell jackets and pants, thin polyester shirts and shorts . . . the list goes on and on.

    Our Thread Pro spool sits on the machine's thread spindle - just like everyday store-bought tread. But there's no comparing Ray-Way Pro to ordinary store-bought thread. To see this for yourself, look at our Pro under a magnifying glass, and notice how nice and smooth it is. Then look at ANY store-bought tread under the same magnifying glass, and notice how rough, discontinuous and hairy it is. Our Pro thread looks great, and sews even better.

    Suffice it to say, there is a lot of inferior thread out there! And we have tried most of it. To most people, thread is just thread. But not to us. It took us months to find thread suitable for our kits. After all, why make the world's best kits with sub-standard thread?

    Ray-Way Sewing Thread is far superior to anything you can buy in the stores. It is stronger, it sews easier and makes a nicer job, it is less fuzzy and more waterproof (less thread wicking) and more sun resistant. And it doesn't create the usual build-up of lint in the machine's interior, meaning that the machine will remain in adjustment much longer and require less cleaning. Ray-Way thread is also much less expensive, yard for yard, than store-bought threads.

    Black thread goes well with just about any outdoor-related sewing project.

    Note: Ray-Way thread is slightly thicker than ordinary store-bought. So be sure to adjust the thread tension of your machine accordingly. Start, as usual when installing any new thread, by loosening the lower (bobin) tension screw a tiny amount. For instructions on how to do this, refer to your sewing machine's manual. If your sewing machine has a horizontal bobbin assembly with automatic tensioning, no adjustments are usually required.


    History

    Mid April 2006 we introduced our current line of thread, which we call Ray-Way Thread Pro. Unlike our previous thread, which came on CONES, the Pro comes on SPOOLS. The Cones sat on the table behind the sewing machine, while the Pro Spool sits on the machine's thread spindle - just like everyday store-bought thread.

    Our Pro Thread comes in small spools, which hold the same amount of thread as our former large cones - 800 yards. So we have not changed the amount of thread we sell, nor have we changed the quality and the price. But we have changed the method of using this thread.

    The cones sat on the table behind the sewing machine, and for about two years we had directions and photos on this web page for using our cones. About 2,000 customers bought our cone thread, and all but a few followed our instructions for using it very successfully to make our kits. */ ?>
