THREAD FAQ:

What size is sewing machine thread?

The three most common sizes of thread in the U.S. are 30, 40, and 50 wt. (For comparison, all-purpose thread is usually 40 wt.)

Which thread is thicker, 30 or 40?

Weight refers to a thread's thickness. In the world of embroidery and cotton thread, a lower thread weight number is thicker than a higher thread weight. This means that a 40 Weight thread is thinner than a 30 Weight thread.

Which is thicker, Tex 45 or Tex 70?

Tex is an accurate measurement and is considered a direct numbering system, meaning the higher the Tex number, the heavier the thread.

What Is B92 thread?  (Same as Tex 90)
