I don't understand the Aurifil hype
Today I was testing my thread stash using the 'tug test' and when I tried my brand new - purchased 3 weeks ago - spool of Aurifil 50 wt I was shocked that this stuff breaks SO EASILY. I have 20 year old Valdani and Coats & Clark that are much tougher than this stuff!!
I'm so angry for not thinking to test this at the time of purchase. Wasted 18 bucks CAD on this one stupid spool.
I'm sticking with the "uncool" yet affordable and reliable Gutermann and Coats & Clark for piecing.
