AURIFIL USA Aurifil 50wt Cotton 1,422yd-Natural, 1422 yd, Natural White

Happy with this thread! Very smooth and easy to work with! I will be purchasing this for quilting in the future.

Hands down, THE BEST! I love love love this color, it’s not too white and not too beige. Please see pics of how close the colors may seem, but are very distinctly opposite!! Also, Even if you are using a large cone or a small cone, you will always get the same color.It’s not just the color, but after doing a lot of sewing you don’t want to be having to clean out what cheap threads leave behind and WILL damage and ruin your machine. Even if you are a novice in sewing there are just some brands you should associate yourself with quickly. I use an industrial Juki 2010Q (Q=Quilting) so this will got on most frame hoops. BE A THREAD SNOB! Imagine thread (and oil, if your machine requires it like mine) like what we put in our bodies! I can only speak from my own personal Quilting experience;1. Aurafil (I’ve never used the following but I’ve heard good things about Madeira and Gutterman too, depending on what your project your working on) however, I stick to what I know-the same rich Pantone colors that’s just as, if not more, important than the quality of fabric bc this runs threw your machine.2. Olfa, hand down the sharpest blades and, for me, the best cuts thru multiple layers of cotton without movement and listening to the slice of a new sharp blade is......butter!!!!!! Perfect cuts make perfect blocks!3. Oliso- Smart Iron, nice to not have to lift the iron anymore and I use a silicone mat with at least a 1/2” thick wool pad. (I haven’t noticed many differences as long as it is sturdy, you do not want your sewn pieces to dip causing distortions, a.k.a. Fabric stretching, in your blocks. Another reason to hand a good thread so you can get the right tension set on your machine.4. Schmetz needles keep sharp for longer than any needle I’ve ever used! Again, just from my personal experience. I change my needle ever 8 hours of sewing, I keep a dollar store timer by my machine, i have to take many breaks with 4 children and with so many sew alongs I could never keep up on needles but once you start hearing or seeing it punch bigger holes, change it! I just saw someone say they change their needle after every bobbin, I’m going to test this bc that would kinda be perfect!! ;)I invested a lot of money of a nice sewing machine, so I see it as a long term investment and just like oil and gas and car maintenance, a sewing machine is no different! I also want a thread that’s easy to put through my needles and I’ve never had 1 problem threading Aurafil thread!Hope this helps my sewing family!

Nothing to dislike and everything to like. If it's recommended by skilled quilter than it must be good. As I'm using the thread, I 100% agree.

I started quilting in 2020 and very shortly after starting using Aurifill thread. I was originally turned onto this product by the different pattern designers from Instagram but quickly became a loyal customer. I have repurchased both the Natural and Dove colors multiple times as they are the perfect colors for piecing and quilting most the the quilts I have made. One spool can typically last me 2+ quilts start to end depending on how densely I quilt. I would highly recommend this thread to quilters of any skill level.

this is the first aurifil I've tried. I've heard so many great things about it.I thought this was gonna be a lot larger than it is.I do believe it is great quality and it definitely has like zero fuzz to the thread strands, which is really good for your machine. But I don't feel a difference when sewing with it like others have reported.And I think maybe because this thread is so fine that is why it is so coily and curly and hard to manage every time my machine snips the threads. It always pops out of position and I have to tuck it back down under the foot, sometimes have to rethread it again too.And the curliness made it wonky to deal with while threading the whole machine too, getting twisted around things without me realizing it and causing tension issues.Maybe a thicker version of this would be easier to deal with. But I'm not going to find out because this brand is too pricey.I will be keeping it and using it for lighter piecing and when it runs out that'll be it.

Aurifil thread is my favorite thread! Use it all the time!

I only use aurifil when I do quilting. The best thread to use in my opinion.

I use this special thread to make rope baskets. It is durable and looks nice with the rope. The spool doesn't fit on my sewing machine very well and comes off when I'm making bobbins. I ended up buying the large spool for better value and put it on a stand.

Good enough thread a little thinner than expected but works well in machines
