Superior Threads sells and distributes sewing thread and sewing-related goods around the world.^[1] Products include sewing thread, quilting thread, upholstery thread, apparel thread, sewing machine needles, and other sewing-related goods.

Products[edit]

With the main focus of business consisting primarily of quilters, many of Superior Threads’ products are geared towards the creation and decorative topstitching of quilts.
