Important: closest match, not an exact match
Thread conversions identify the closest available Exquisite shade to a Madeira color. Dye lots, fiber sheen, and base materials differ between brands, so shades can vary slightly under different lighting and fabrics.
For color-critical work, always confirm against a physical Exquisite color card before a production run. River City Supply is not responsible for color variance between brands.

Are Madeira to Exquisite conversions exact color matches?
No. The chart gives the closest available Exquisite (DIME) match to each Madeira Polyneon shade. Because brands use different dyes and fibers, shades can vary slightly. For color-critical work, confirm against a physical Exquisite color card before a production run.
Which Madeira line does the chart cover?
It maps Madeira Polyneon (40 wt polyester) numbers to their closest Exquisite Polyester equivalents, based on the published DIME data, covering about 260 Madeira numbers from 1000 to 1395.
What does the ES prefix mean?
ES is the Exquisite product code used by DIME and matches the SKU on each cone. For example, Madeira 1014 converts to ES304 Pink Glaze, stocked as SKU ES304.
What if my Madeira number is not listed?
If a number is not on the published chart, no direct Exquisite match is assigned. Reach out through live chat or email and we will help you find the closest in-stock alternative.
Is Exquisite the same weight as Madeira Polyneon?
Yes. Exquisite Polyester is a 40 weight, 120/2 denier thread on 1,000 m cones, the same standard machine embroidery weight as Madeira Polyneon.
