Quilting Product Description

Established in 1983, Aurifil is an accomplished Italian company based near Milano, with a full-grown experience in producing superior quality cotton threads for professional and domestic quilters. Aurifil threads are made from Long Staple Egyptian Mako cotton.

The 40 weight Mako (cotton), slightly heavier than the 50 weight, is ideal for all types of hand and machine work, from piecing and appliqué, to straight line and free motion machine quilting, and embroidery. This fine thread creates a fine seam when piecing, and stands out well in machine quilting. The 40 weight is ideal for backtracking, and heavy background design work. The 40 weight can be used on home sewing machines, and long arm quilting machines. Use an 80/12 Sharp/Microtex, denim or top stitching needle for best results.

Great thread for beginners

I purchased this thread for embroidery work, but I am just beginning and I have too many projects on my plate, so both threads I ordered are on hold for now. I use it for practice ones. I am happy with all the creators that use the thread.

Best Thread

In my opinion Aurifil is the best quality 100% cotton thread because of its very minimal lint production and smooth sewing on my machine! Love the variety of colors and weights to choose from.

Aurifil 40 wt Cotton thread

While a nice color that blends in, the thread coils which can be a problem. It also snaps very easily causing frequent re-threads. I don't think I would buy this again.
