AURIFIL USA Aurifil 50wt Cotton Thread 6,452yd-Chalk, Chalk

Aurifil is the best premium thread for quilt piecing and machine top stitching. I was looking for white, but without the brightness of a stark, bleached white and without it being a very light shade of beige. ITS THE PERFECT SHADE OF OFF WHITE, as its a true white but without the harsh brightness, which is what I was looking for in order to blend in best for most lighter shade of fabric. For the price of this premium thread, I would expect the best in color choice, and it delivers.After years of using different brands of much cheaper 40 wt poly, I finally gave in and started using smooth Aurifil 50 wt. cotton for its strong and lint free thin thread. It also perfect for bobbins, as you get much more wound on one bobbin vs. a 40. wt poly. Ultimately, it will make a difference in the overall quality of your finished quilt. As far as my other big cones of Omni 40 wt poly (made by Superior at around the same size of around 6,000 meters for approx. $17), Omni is perfect for general utility sewing (bag, clothes, etc) as its very strong and sturdy and relatively lint free. I would strongly suggest getting at least 2 bobbin holding cases, one being labeled 40 wt. poly and the other one 50 wt. Aurifil. I hope this answers all the question regarding thread choice for all those who quilt, and all those who make bags or garments. Yes, you can use 40 wt. poly for all sewing (if on a budget), but its really worth the extra $$ for Aurifil 50 wt. when quilting. Also, buying the bigger AuriFil cones at 6000+ meters, its a lot more convenient and you get better deal.

I'm a huge fan of Aurofil thread, and it is the only one that I buy. This is my first time buying a large cone. It has 4.53 times more thread than it's little sister--but it is not 4.53 times the price. So if you are doing alot of sewing (as many of us are making masks), please consider getting a cone and save yourself some money! This variegated, though it looks weird, is perfect for colorful batiks. Give it some consideration. Happy sewing!

I loved using the Aurifil 2600 Dove Grey thread, it is very strong and doesn't break on me and it is a very subtle color that is not too bright. I love how thin the thread is and it doesn't unravel nearly as much as some other thread I have tried so it threads through my machine with ease.

This price per cone is excellent. Best thread on the market.

I love this color thread. It’s not for all quilting jobs, but definitely for most. Light enough, but not stark white. This color blends well with most light colored fabrics. A must in my quilt room!

Great thread for pieing and quilting!

Whenever I can get Aurifil at a cheaper price I do because, as a quilter, thread must be of good quality and reliably so. Aurifil is all I need

Arrived in a timely manner. Perfect color for quilting my new projects. This cone is much bigger than I was expecting so I’m very happy about that. It’s going to last for a while!
