I love Aurifil thread!

When I first began sewing, and for many years, I would buy my thread at Walmart, or wherever I could find the best deal.

This is hand quilting thread, which I used to run through my pleater when I pleat fabric to smock.

It is strong and durable.

         

I bought it in lots of pretty colors so that I would always have a good selection.

I used to buy my thread from Joann Fabric store.

I would buy this thread in white and natural colors, for piecing quilts.

Here is the link.

It would break now and then, but I was generally satisfied with the quality.

I found a better quality of machine quilting thread, and I also used it to hand sew bindings onto my finished quilts.

Two years ago, I found out about Aurifil thread, and it has changed my thinking about thread.

I won't use anything but Aurifil.
It never breaks, it's silky, it's strong, it has a nice sheen, and it's easy to thread through the eye of a needle.

It's made in Italy, and is 100% cotton.

Did you know that thread comes in different weights?

I prefer the 50 weight thread for quilting and machine quilting.

It's a little on the expensive side initially, but each spool holds 1422 yards, or 1300 meters of thread.

It lasts forever!

Here is a link to my favorite thread :) 

I only have 3 colors, including white and natural.

I sew with white most of the time.

I have one spool of invisible thread which I use when attaching dresdens to a block.

I discovered that Aurifil makes invisible thread, that will be next on my list!

Yes, I'm a thread snob.

Since I've discovered Aurifil, I won't sew with anything else :)
Here's a link to find the nearest Aurifil dealer near you!

If you haven't tried it yet, have I inspired you to try a spool of Aurifil?
