This is the only thread that I use to machine piece my quilts.

I have not been quilting for a long time, but I immediately noticed the difference when I started using this thread. I first used it for hand quilting and was amazed at how much easier it was to use and how much better my stitches looked.... then for machine piecing and then for hand piecing.... All of those tasks were easier and looked better with this thread. Will not use anything else now.

I'm convinced Aurifil is the best thread available. I use it for quilting and regular sewing. I have never been disappointed with it. The range of solid colors and variegated colors is great. It doesn't leave a bunch of lint like some more widely available and cheaper threads. The threads are thinner, but are stronger than some other brands, too. I love this brand and will never put another thread in my beloved machine again.

Highly recommended for both piecing and quilting, I purchased my first spool of Aurifil here. It sewed beautifully in my computerized sewing/embroidery machine. I used it to hand-stitch the binding to the back of a table runner, and boy was it trouble! I used a lot of Thread Heaven, and then tried beeswax, and it was a constant battle of knotting, twisting, fraying, etc. The ONLY way I could get it to behave was to dip my fingers in water and smooth the thread with it. Once sewn, the stitches were virtually invisible to the eye. Unless someone can advise me as to what to do to aid in hand sewing with this, I will likely never purchase it again. Any suggestions?

Aurifil thread is just really the best for quilting. The quality is much better than other threads you buy at stores like Joann's. This is an excellent price as well compared to some other online quilting stores. This is a large spool that lasts me a long time. I feel good using this thread to make quilts that I hope to last a lifetime. I have been using this thread for a few years now and have never noticed any issues in the many quilts that I have made.

How many times have you carefully measured before cutting your pieces, used a quarter inch foot on your machine and slowly stitched the pieces precisely to form a block . . .then measured your block and discovered it was smaller than the instructions said it should be?This used to be the most frustrating part about quilting for me . . .so much so, I'd take my blocks to various instructors to trouble shoot. That's when I discovered Aurifil 50 wt thread. I never realized how much difference the thread could make. But think about it . . .if the thread being used is approximately the same size as the threads woven into the fabric, the seams bury themselves into the fabric and take up less space . . .making perfect seams every time.Now, run a length of chain store thread through your fingertips and notice the lumps . . .absolutely no lumps in the Aurifil thread. Absolutely, hands down, the best thread for piecing. However, because it's so fine, if stitching garments, it's certainly strong enough to hold seams together, but it's more difficult to pull gathers . . .so don't get rid of your poly/cotton threads as they still come in handy for garment sewing . . .but nothing but Aurifil comes near my quilts!
