Elevate your projects with the subtle sophistication of Bound Tex 90 (V-92) Linen Performance Thread. This is the go-to solution for marine and outdoor sewing where both aesthetics and endurance are paramount. When your work demands unwavering performance against the elements in a versatile, natural hue, trust this high-tenacity bonded polyester thread to deliver professional, lasting results.

The secret to its superior performance lies in its bonded construction. This specialized process locks the filaments together, dramatically reducing fraying and shredding for a smooth, trouble-free sewing experience. Engineered to combat the harshest conditions, this thread boasts remarkable resistance to UV degradation and mildew. Furthermore, a non-wicking treatment ensures moisture cannot penetrate your stitch holes, protecting the integrity of your seams. It's the perfect choice for high-end patio furniture, boat enclosures, awnings, and outdoor upholstery.

With a formidable tensile strength of 13.3 lbs, this marine-grade thread provides the security needed for high-stress seams on medium to heavy fabrics. It is perfectly suited for materials from 6 to 10 oz., including all varieties of Sunbrella® canvas. For best results, pair this Tex 90 thread with a #18 or #20 sewing machine needle. When using the Sailrite® Ultrafeed® Sewing Machine, a #20 needle is recommended for optimal stitch quality.

Choose the Linen Tex 90 performance thread for the peace of mind that comes with using a product engineered for endurance. Its elegant Linen color provides a versatile, natural look without compromising on the industrial-strength qualities required for outdoor applications. The thread's consistent diameter and exceptional ply ensure a beautiful, uniform stitch, minimizing downtime and adjustments.

Pro Tip for Optimal Performance: Always draw the thread off the top of the cone. This feeding direction imparts an additional twist to the thread, which enhances its strength, prevents the strands from separating, and contributes to smoother tensioning in your sewing machine.
