troutfly Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hello guest, sewing thread is much weaker than fly tying thread for starters and will snap and any given time, not good when your tying in wings etc, their are uses for sewing thread like ribbing your flies and bodies on some flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Also fly tying thread is waxed most times. It is also made of different materials than sewing thread which is mostly cotton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 The "05" Summer issue of the Fly Tyer magazine has a real interesting article regarding the Fly Tying industry adopting new thread standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
