Description
Aurifil Quilting Thread – Cotton 50wt
- Large spool: 1422 yards – 1300 meters
- 50wt in weight
- 100% cotton
Hand Appliqué
Is ideal for all types of hand applique. From needle turning to using prepared shapes, the 50wt is thin and with all the colors available you can match your shape perfectly.
Hand Piecing
A great weight for hand piecing.
Lace
50wt is a wonder for both Bobbin lace & Machine lace.
Machine Appliqué
Ideal when a very fine finish is desired. This weight disappears so your fabric is the feature. Use aurifil quilting thread for a straight stitch, small zig zag , Blind hemming stitch , and Blanket stitch.
Machine Embroidery
Great results every time. Use 50wt in the bobbin as well, or your regular bobbin thread – in which case tighten the top tension a little. Use a Microtex 80/12 needle.
Machine piecing
Aurifil quilting thread gives a great result with a nice flat seam every time.
Machine quilting
Use for very detailed machine quilting with a lot of back tracking such as feathers and heavy background quilting . Perfect for quilting that creates texture when you don’t necessarily want to see the quilting lines. Use the same thread in the bobbin and a Sharp/Microtex, quilting or even denim needles 80/12.
Longarm quilting
Aurifil quilting thread is perfect for creating texture where you don’t want the thread to be a feature. Backgrounds, stitch in the ditch, basting quilts, whole cloth quilting, micro quilting for dense background designs. Match bobbin thread.

I love piecing with Aurifil 50 wt thread. I am beginning to build my inventory of 40 wt for quilting. It shows up nicely! Thank you for your ‘chasing new stock’. I’ll be checking back regularly.

Is there a way to tell on your website if an Aurifil thread is available in a large cone? Always looking for a black and an off-white in the large size.
