Want to See the Actual Colors?

Super Strong and Elite share closely related color families. Both are 40 wt. high-sheen polyester threads, but Super Strong is specifically designed for longarm quilters, offering higher tensile (breaking) strength and the ability to withstand tight tension and high-speed stitching with ease. Their colors are so similar that the Elite Thread Color Booklet serves as an accurate visual reference for Super Strong colors. Instead of making two separate color books, we recommend using the Elite Color Booklet as a color library for Super Strong and referencing the conversion chart to match.

"Zero thread breaks on my longarm! And the fact that it is lint-free is soooo nice. I love this thread."
