Speedway Bonded Nylon 66 Thread Tex 92 (Size 92) — 8.8 oz Spool
Description
Description
Speedway Tex 92 (size 92) is a high-tenacity bonded nylon 66 sewing thread supplied on an 8.8 oz (250 g) spool, available in 9 colors. Bonding fuses the three plies together, so the thread does not fray or break at industrial sewing speeds and the seam keeps the abrasion resistance that upholstery, leather and canvas work demands. Ships from Miami, FL.

8.8 oz, not 8
Bonded nylon in this class is normally sold on 4 oz or 8 oz spools. This one holds 8.8 oz (250 g) — roughly 10% more thread than the common 8 oz spool, on the same footprint and the same spool change. Worth checking when you compare prices: the cheaper spool is often the smaller one.
What is it used for?
- Heavy-duty upholstery and automotive interiors
- Marine canvas, boat covers and light sails
- Military gear, dog collars, banners and tarps
- Medium-weight leather on a walking-foot machine
What needle size should I use?
Use a Nm 110–130 (Singer 18–21) needle with this thread.
That is the size. The system — DBx1, 135x17, 134-35 — depends on your machine, not on the thread. How to identify yours · Industrial machine needles
On leather and coated materials the point matters as much as the size, and the point does depend on the material rather than the machine. Groz-Beckert's leather point guide describes LR (45° cut to the right) as the reference for shoes, leather goods, upholstery, belts and car seats; D/DH (triangular cut) for thick, hard leather; and SD for thin leather, foils and coated materials such as vinyl. We stock these as leather point needles.
Careful with “Nm”: for thread it means 1000/Tex (Tex 92 = Nm 11.1), but for needles it means the blade diameter in hundredths of a millimetre (Nm 110 = 1.10 mm). They are not the same number. Conversion formulas from Coats; government sizes from the A-A-59826 specification published by American & Efird.
Not sure between two sizes?
Tex 92 or Tex 135? Stay at 92 for boat covers, tarps and heavy upholstery. Go to 135 when the stitch itself carries the load — harness, webbing, load straps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What needle size should I use with Tex 92?
Nm 110–130 (Singer 18–21). If the stitch looks starved or the thread frays, go one size up before changing anything else.
Should I use Tex 92 or the next size?
Tex 92 or Tex 135? Stay at 92 for boat covers, tarps and heavy upholstery. Go to 135 when the stitch itself carries the load — harness, webbing, load straps.
How much thread is on the spool?
Each spool holds 250 g of thread (8.8 oz). We do not publish a yardage figure because the bonding resin adds weight that the nominal Tex does not account for — quoting a converted number would be a guess, and we would rather not guess.
Will this work on a domestic machine?
No. Tex 92 needs an industrial machine — walking foot or compound feed. A domestic will not pull this diameter through reliably, and forcing it usually means skipped stitches and a bent needle.
