Discover the ultimate solution for heavy-duty outdoor and marine sewing with our Bound Tex 90 (V-92) Black Performance Thread. Constructed from premium bonded polyester, this thread is built to withstand the most severe environmental conditions. For projects demanding superior strength and a sleek, professional finish, this robust black thread is the definitive choice for fabricators who require unwavering performance and longevity.

At its core, this thread features an advanced bonding agent that enhances its integrity, delivering a remarkably smooth sewing experience with minimal shredding or breaks. It is chemically treated to provide exceptional protection against UV radiation, safeguarding your seams from sun-induced weakening and degradation. Furthermore, a specialized non-wick finish creates a moisture-repellent barrier, preventing water from seeping through stitch holes. These characteristics, along with inherent mildew resistance, make it the premier thread for marine upholstery, sail repairs, awnings, outdoor gear, and canvas work.

Engineered for superior seam security, this marine-grade thread boasts an average breaking strength of 13.3 lbs, providing the resilience needed for medium to heavy-duty fabrics. For best results, pair this Tex 90 thread with a #18 or #20 needle when working with fabrics from 6 to 10 oz, including all Sunbrella® materials. We specifically recommend a #20 needle for use with the Sailrite® Ultrafeed® Sewing Machine.

Invest in your projects with a thread designed for endurance and aesthetics. The rich black color provides a clean, professional look that won't fade, while the thread's consistent quality ensures fewer machine adjustments and a more efficient workflow. Trust in this performance polyester thread to create durable, long-lasting goods that look great and hold up against the elements.

Pro Tip: For optimal performance, the thread should be drawn off the top of the cone. This adds a crucial extra twist that increases its tensile strength, prevents the strands from unlaying, and helps resolve common tension issues during sewing.
