New in!!! Aurifil Thread Veriegated

Aurifil Thread
1000 mt spools veriegated
Can be purchased here..


Machine Appliqué
Suitable for almost all machine appliqué techniques including raw edge appliqué with a straight stitch, small zig zag, blind hemming stitch, blanket stitch and buttonhole stitches.

Machine Embroidery
40wt is the most popular machine embroidery thread weight .

Machine Piecing
40wt gives a perfect result with a nice flat seam.

Machine Quilting
Perfect for quilting when you want to create texture, and also when you want to create a quilted motif that stands out a bit more. Use 40wt or 50 wt of the same color in the bobbin. Use a Sharp/Microtex quilting or even denim needles 80/12.

Longarm Quilting
Great for all long arm quilting, edge to edge, pantographs, custom quilting, needle (3.5, 4.0), pair with 50W bobbin thread . Fine enough for ditch stitching and has sufficient presence to give good results for general quilting with motifs

Knowing you weight

I am looking at 'start' stocking these in the next couple of weeks, 
but thought I would embark on an exercise not just for you but me also!

Click on the one suiting you underlined,
and it will take you to Aurifil web data sheet on that thread.
