Madeira Polyneon

A 40 weight, 120/2 denier polyester embroidery thread known for strong, colorfast stitches across a wide shade range.

Exquisite by DIME

A 40 weight, 120/2 denier polyester thread with rayon-like sheen, colorfast and built to survive UV and industrial laundering.

Why convert

Switching brands, matching an existing design, or sourcing an in-stock equivalent is fast when you know the closest Exquisite shade.

How thread conversion works

Reading the chart

Each row pairs a Madeira Polyneon number with its closest Exquisite code (the ES prefix) and color name, for example Madeira 1014 → ES304 Pink Glaze.

Why shades can vary

Different brands use different dyes and fiber blends, so a converted color is the nearest available match, not an identical reproduction.

Best practice

For logos, uniforms, and color-critical jobs, confirm the match against a physical Exquisite color card before a full production run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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 critical color 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, so it runs on the same needles and tensions.
