Hello guys, i'm new here and i need help :blush:
i'm browsing the forum for thread information but i'm not sure if i understand correctly. I live in Europe and we have different thread sizes here ... in the local upholstery store threads are available from 10 (the thickest), 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 120 etc. I'm not sure which number is equivalent to 92 or 69 if i got it well yours size is in TEX, mine meters per gram but no idea how to calculate it :joy:

I use serifil thread and use mostly 92, 135, 210 for what I do. This is the conversion I know here below.
USA = Euro
#69 = 40
#92 = 30
#135= 20
#210 = 15
#270 = 10
