Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Omni and So Fine!?

Both are polyester, but Omni is 40wt (heavier, more visible) and So Fine! is 50wt (finer, more subtle). Omni is better for longarm quilting at speed. So Fine! is better for home machine quilting where a finer thread improves tension balance on domestic machines.

Is Monopoly thread the same as monofilament?

Yes — Monopoly is Superior’s branded monofilament thread. It’s a very fine, nearly invisible polyester that’s popular for invisible applique attachment and stitch-in-the-ditch quilting where you don’t want any thread to show.

What is Rainbows thread?

Rainbows is Superior’s variegated polyester line — 40wt poly with multi-color shifts. It’s the polyester alternative to King Tut’s variegated colorways. Rainbows shifts color more abruptly than King Tut; both are popular for allover pantograph quilting on solid or tone-on-tone tops.
