Our Story
Welcome to Madeira Quilting Thread, a division of Madeira USA. For more than a century, Madeira has set the global standard for premium embroidery threads. Today, that same tradition of excellence and innovation is dedicated to the artistry of quilting—where every stitch carries both function and feeling.
A quilt is never just fabric and thread. It’s a story, a memory, a gift, a legacy. That’s why the thread matters. Strength, consistency, and beauty at the stitch level make the difference between a project that simply holds together and one that endures, inspires, and shines. Madeira Quilting Thread is crafted for that difference—supporting everything from precise piecing to bold quilting lines and decorative flourishes that bring color and texture to life.
Threads That Solve Problems
Every quilt has different demands, and the right thread makes all the difference. Madeira Quilting Thread offers solutions for every step of the process: smooth cotton for traditional piecing, durable polyester for high-speed longarm quilting, and specialty options for adding shimmer or a sustainable edge. Whether you need low-lint performance, natural-fiber softness, or eye-catching shine, there’s a Madeira thread designed to make quilting easier and more rewarding.
From cotton to polyester, longarm favorites to metallics and eco-friendly choices, our quilting threads are designed to suit every project and every style. Explore our collections to discover the perfect match for your next quilt.
