Aurifil Threads
We have a collection of threads matched to our Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Solids - so you don't have to worry about matching threads to fabrics over the web, as we fully appreciate that this can be tricky.
We currently stock two weights of thread: 50wt and 12wt, see Aurifil's descriptions below.
Aurifil’s 50wt/2ply thread is our most versatile and most popular Cotton thread and is wound on our iconic orange spool. The 50wt is strong and thin, and results in remarkably flat and crisp seams. While it is wonderful for piecing, subtle quilting & topstitching, and English Paper Piecing it also works incredibly well for Needle Turn Applique, Bobbin and Machine Lace, Machine Applique (Straight Stitch, ZigZag, Blind Hem and Blanket Stitch,) Machine Embroidery, Dense Machine Quilting, Subtle Machine and Longarm Quilting, Basting, Whole Cloth and Micro Quilting, and Dense Background Designs.
Aurifil’s 100% Cotton 12wt/2ply thread and is wound on a red spool. It is perfect for hand applique, hand embroidery, hand quilting, cross stitch, embellishment, handmade lace, machine applique, blanket stitch, machine embroidery (especially for designs that use a longer stitch length), machine art quilting, Sashiko, redwork, lower looper serging, and longarm quilting.
We hope that we have something that suits your needs.
