Polyester thread


hello all.
im new to all this, i have just bought to singers machine and serviced them.
188u and a 196k5. the 196k5 is for sale as i have no room for it.
im after a heavy thread but i don't know to much about them. i know that
Barbour thread m30 plays up and wont go through but i need something
heavy(ish) am i right in thinking 75 is about the same as the stuff that's
used for jeans.
i need to stitch the ballistic nylon that im after.
can anyone recommend a good place to buy from or a good site with the right
sort of help/info.
thanks
Phil.
