Threadsation Tex 45 Polyester Sewing Thread — Shadow Silk
Threadsation™ combines dependable strength with a soft, flexible feel and gentle satin sheen. Although selected with bag makers in mind, this versatile polyester thread is equally at home in quilts, appliqué, table runners, home décor, accessories and many other sewing projects.
Why You’ll Love Shadow Silk
Shadow Silk is a deep charcoal grey with a soft satin sheen — smooth, timeless and beautifully easy to match. If you’re working with black, slate grey, smoky tones or modern monochrome prints, this shade blends in effortlessly and gives your stitching a clean, well-matched finish without drawing attention away from your materials.
More Than a Bag Making Thread
Threadsation is a wonderfully versatile choice for:
- Quilts and quilted projects
- Appliqué and decorative stitching
- Table runners and placemats
- Handbags, totes, crossbody bags and backpacks
- Wallets, zipper pouches and organisers
- Home décor and accessories
- Straps, webbing and visible topstitching
Materials It Works Beautifully With

Soft Non-Bonded Thread
Threadsation has a soft, smooth, non-bonded construction that moves naturally with fabric. Compared with firmer bonded threads, it provides dependable strength and lovely stitch definition while helping fabric and quilted projects retain their natural feel.

Threadsation Tex 45 can be used on domestic and industrial sewing machines and is suitable for winding onto compatible bobbins. A size 16 sewing machine needle is recommended as a starting point.

Helpful Tip from Chris
Always test your needle, thread, tension and stitch length on an offcut or sample made from the same layers as your project. Adjust the settings to suit your machine and materials before beginning.
