Elite is our 40 wt. trilobal polyester thread designed for machine quilting and embroidery. This high-sheen thread features a unique triangle-shaped cross-section (tri-lobal) that reflects light brilliantly, creating vibrant stitches that make your quilting and embroidery designs shine. Quilters appreciate how smoothly it stitches, with a consistent twist and a silky finish. Available in 200 stunning colors on 1,094-yard spools. Naturally lint-free to help keep your machine clean. It's a slick thread, so we recommend placing a Thread Net over the cone.
