Superior Threads Omni #3022 Silver Grey is a 6,000-yard cone of 40-weight, 100% polyester quilting thread built for high-speed longarm quilting and reliable sewing performance.

This heavy-capacity cone supplies a neutral silver grey shade formulated to resist breakage and deliver consistent stitch formation on longarm quilting machines, sergers, and apparel sewing.

What are the technical features and benefits of OMNI Tex 30?

How should I use and care for this thread to get the best results?

• Select the proper needle size for fabric and thread weight
• Clean machine regularly to prevent lint buildup
• Test tension and stitch samples before production runs
