Aurifil is my favorite thread! The light weight and superior strength of this thread results in less bulk and a neater seam. When seams lay flatter, the block size is more precise. And because of the fineness of the thread, a lot more Aurifil will load on a bobbin vs. so many other brands. Aurifil is very careful with the twisting and finishing process, which eliminates thread fraying and tangling and we all know how important this is to quilters! It can be found on many of the award winning quilts housed at the Museum of the American Quilter's Society. Aurifil is made in Italy from the highest grade Long Staple Egyptian Cotton. It became my thread of choice when an award-winning quilter and teacher recommended it to me. Even my Bernina service technician recommended Auriful because of its low lint properties. This wonderful, high-sheen thread keeps my machine happy and productive.
Aurifil's 50 wt. thread is spun on orange spools with handy removable end caps. Just twist off the cap to find the thread end and then replace cap. When you are finished sewing, lower the cap to capture that loose end.
Aurifil spools are individually wrapped so they will reach you in their pristine condition. Each spool has 1422 yards of thread which makes it a much more economical purchase than so many other brands sporting less yardage. This particular spool sells for more than $10 in most quilt shops. I sell the 50wt. spools as well as the Aurifil 50wt large cones with 6452 yards of thread. | |
