Description
This is a smooth, bonded polyester outdoor thread that is perfect for sail and canvaswork. Bonded Ultra Dee polyester thread has high strength and stretch control, stability in sunlight (UVR), and resistance to needle heat, abrasion, saltwater and mildew. Our polyester thread very seldom frays at the needle eye, and the consistent bonded finish minimizes the need for continual machine tension adjustments. Use this V-69 thread with a #16 or #18 needle. Perfect for use on sails, tents, boat covers, awnings, outdoor canvas covers and tarps.
When using sailmaker's thread, make sure to pull the thread up off the top of the cone. This will add an extra twist in the thread which increases the thread strength, helps keep the thread from unlaying, and eases tension problems.
Features:
- Improved resistance to strength loss from UV exposure over standard polyester filament thread
- Good seam strength
- UV resistant
- Non-wick treatment to limit moisture migration
- Consistent diameter and excellent ply

Perfect thread
Worked great for this project.
Always worked before, Expect it to keep on working.
It works like it is supposed to and how I expect it to.
Tempermental but good
Once I was used to the stiffness of the polyester thread for outdoor fabrics, it was fine. The correct needle is all important - information that Sailrite disclosed. The only real problem is the diameter of the cone which now sits precariously on the spool holder on my Bernina sewing machine. In spite of that I would buy this thread again for outdoor cushion use.
Happy to have found your site!
I am very happy with the products that I ordered. They were exactly what I was looking for. I am currently working on my projects and happy with my purchase.
