Aurifil thread
 

I just ordered some of this thread recently and tried it today for the first time. OMG It is wonderful. I can't believe how nice it sews. I am piecing a wall hanging and what a difference using this thread. I think I will be spoiled now.

Glad you found something to love. It's great when you can sew with something you can depend on. What colors did you get?

I'm hooked on Aurifil also!! It sews beautifully and doesn't leave a ton of lint in my machines.

I love Aurifil for piecing. Am a convert from Mettler.

I love Aurifil and is the only thread I use for piecing. I have about 12 colors, 5 in cones and 7 in spools.

Did you know that the larger end cap pops off? I learned it at a class and it makes using the spool holder on the machine much easier!

Aurifil is my go to thread for all piecing. I have it in many colors but lots of neutrals too.

Cheapest price on craftsy.com-aurifil thread . It is now 8.45 for 1422 yards 50 wt. sometimes it goes even lower.

Yes, get it from Craftsy.com I bought 2 dozen spools from them in early January for less than $8 a spool.

Yep! I love it, too. I call it the "Cadillac" of threads. I buy lots of the smaller spools for hand applique work & a few of the larger ones for piecing & quilting. Patski's tip is a good one. With the little spools you just wind the thread around the lip 3-4x and I've found it stays.

Yep, it's the only one I use for piecing.

I am a member of the Aurifil thread group also, purchased a box on Mass Drop last year, and have never looked back!

My favorite as well!

I have been an Aurifil girl for awhile....recently tried the 40 wt for machine quilting-love it! And, yes, Craftsy often has it on sale for less than $8.....

I recently got spoiled with this thread too when I bought a 3 pack as a Daily Deal on MSQC. My biggest problem is finding the colors I want for around $8. Craftsy has a limited color selection so I found a few at Hancock of Paducah.

I've been looking for a source for Aurafil. Thanks for the heads up!

Hawthorne also has aurifil, and has sales once in awhile....

I plan to get some Aurifil when it's on sale unless the shipping makes it same price as my local fabric shop.

I was lucky enough to start with Aurifil when I first took up quilting (3 or 4 years ago). It was the thread my LQS shop sold, so it's what I bought. I've only tried one other for piecing and immediately went back to Aurifil.

This past week I tried it (still 50 wt.) for FM quilting instead of my usual Isacord poly. Oh my - absolutely love it for that, too! Just the right sheen, perfect tensions with my Janome 7700, not a single thread break in a 60 x 84 quilt.

I'll have to try it on my next FMQ project as I currently love Isacord for FMQ on my Janome....

I love Aurifil. I have never used it for quilting and will have to try that. I thought it was a little too thin for the look I wanted. I also appreciate the tip about where the best price is. I rarely use colors and stick with primarily gray, white and beige so should have no problems finding the colors I want.

It makes me feel so good to have fine and beautiful things and Aurifil fits into that category for me.

Please tell me what Mass Drop is.

My favourite thread also & I also like Isacord thread for embroidery work on my machine. More $$ than some other brands but it shows in the quality of the stitches.

No I didn't. thanks for letting me know. I always piece with Aurafil and use it when doing sit down quilting.

Yep! Convert here to! Love the stuff!

Seriously???? I've been putting the spool on a holder! Thank you!!

Check ebay...often lower from some sellers.

I so agree--I love Aurifil thread. Would love to have all the colors is only to look at--lol.

https://www.massdrop.com/ Become a member and about every day a new buy pops up. I haven't ordered from there but I've heard some say it may take awhile to get your order. Some things you might find cheaper somewhere else.

Check out Green Fairy Quilts. They sell Aurifil & have sales every 2-3 months & free shipping over $10 in the US. That isn't hard to meet.

I gave the 50 weight a go about 3 years back and have never looked back, it's a wonderful thread and saves so much bobbin winding!
