Maine Thread has definitely become my favorite among all other saddle stitch threads. A real joy to use in every way, and always looks great.
Most threads have compromises. Some hard to thread, need of waxing, string drag during stitching, and most poly threads turning to a dirty burnt brown instead of the desired color you chose. None of these are present with Maine Thread braided poly.
I also find the braided poly doesn’t flatten as much as popular competitors braided poly.
Highly recommend!

Excellent In Every Way

I have been testing different brands of linen, twist poly, and braided poly, and in different diameters w/ different sized K+S Blade Euro irons, and Maine Tread works better and looks better for me than all others.
Almost every other thread has some issue to deal with.
Maine thread is perfectly waxed right off the spool, threads easily on the appropriate sized needle.
My ideal single sized thread across a wide range of leather thickness is the 0.50mm thread, using 3.83mm and 4.5mm irons. For the 0.50mm diameter thread I easily use a John James #4 Saddlers needle.
It is also a better cost value for the amount of thread that comes on a spool.
Win-win-win
