I was given some thread several years ago and would like to know if I can use it with my DSM. They are cones. One is Mettler Metrolock, superfine polyester coned thread. At the top of the cone it has numbers, Art.1015 No. 150, col 703.
The other cone has a label inside that says Threads USA, Gastonia,ND, 882421DX 661150, ONCORE< cotton wrap polyester 50, 6000 yds.,then 5486, 1378.
I must have been given 35 spools and I would like to use it if it will not mess my machine up. Thread is so expensive today. Why waste?
I think the person that gave it to me said the second kind was used to embroider bowling shirts.
I hope someone can tell me about these threads.
Thanks.
Also, soes anyone know about the numbers inside other cone threads where the size says TEX###. How do these sizes translate into our thread weights? Is there a chart that converts the sizes?
