Swatches & Samples

Choosing colours online can be difficult because lighting, photography and screen settings can change how a shade appears. Our swatches allow you to see and handle the real thread or zip before placing a larger order.

We offer real samples for selected products, including polyester sewing-machine thread and cotton quilting thread. The swatches can help with colour matching for dressmaking, quilting, alterations, crafts and other sewing projects.

Half-price introductory thread-set offer

Each customer may purchase their first set at half price from the following ranges:

• Polyester Sewing Machine Thread Set — 33 Colours, 400 Yards Each
• Cotton Quilting Thread Set — 36 Colours, 400 Yards Each

The half-price offer is limited to one first set per customer and applies only to the eligible thread sets listed above.

Zip swatches

Real zip swatches are being prepared and will be available from July. These will allow customers to compare actual zip-tape colours before ordering full-length zips.

Please remember that production batches may vary slightly. A swatch provides a much better colour guide than an online image, but a small difference between the sample and a later batch may still occur.
