Which Coats All-Purpose Sewing Thread To Choose?

 

Tex Thread Size Chart & Thread Weight to Tex Conversion Guide

It’s common to see threads labeled with a “Tex” Number. But what does that number mean? Tex, or Tex Weight, is a standard way of measuring thread weight that’s deceptively easy to understand: the higher the Tex, the thicker the thread. That’s all there is to it!

A thread’s Tex is equal to the weight in grams of 1000 meters of that thread, so a heavier thread has a higher Tex. For example, if 1000 meters of a thread weighs 30 grams, it is Tex 30. Typical light-weight sewing threads range from Tex 8-25, medium-weight sewing threads are Tex 25-40, and heavy-weight sewing threads are Tex 40 and up.

We know that sewing thread weights can be confusing, so we put together a handy chart of some equivalents between commonly used thread weights to help you find the perfect match. Find an estimated equivalent on the chart below, or convert a thread weight on your own using our thread conversion chart.

Cotton, Polyester or Cotton/Poly Blend Threads Which To Choose For Your Project

Cotton, Polyester, or Cotton/Polyester Thread Blend?

Which type of thread is best for your sewing projects? Cotton thread is highly sewable and has a natural finish, as well as heat resistance. It doesn’t have a lot of stretch, however, so it is best for woven fabrics like cotton or linen. Polyester Thread has extra strength and stretch, so it is especially suited to knit or stretch fabrics like jersey. Cotton/Polyester Threads possess the best qualities of each, with the durability and stretch of polyester plus the natural look and sewability of cotton, making them a great choice for a wider range of fabrics, and very popular for working with denim.
