How to choose
Tex is a thread thickness measure: a higher Tex number means a heavier thread. Choose a needle with an eye and size suited to the thread, then confirm the machine can handle the combination and the material stack. These large cones and heavier thread sizes should be assessed for your equipment rather than treated as a direct substitute for everyday fine domestic sewing thread. Cone lengths vary between Sunstop and Anefil and between thread sizes, so compare the labelled metres as well as price.
Which A&E thread is right for outdoor sewing?
Sunstop listings specify UV-resistant bonded polyester. Anefil Poly offers a separate polyester range in three listed sizes. Review the product specification and the requirements of your project before choosing the thread family and size.
