About the Item

40 weight Aurifil cotton Mako 2 ply thread is slightly heavier than the 50 weight Aurifil thread and is great for machine quilting (when you want to show off stitches). Use 40 weight Aurifil for ditch quilting, machine piecing, machine embroidery, needle lace, and buttonholes.

Aurifil thread is a long-staple high quality, durable cotton thread for sewing of all types including hand sewing, appliqué, piecing, quilting, embroidery, heirloom machine sewing, lace design (Aurifil has a firm ‘Z’ twist making it perfect for lace work), serging, wearables and home decor. Aurifil thread is also great in the bobbin. There is little, if any lint, so Aurifil is very kind to those high tech sewing machines. Seams lie flat. Aurifil thread has become a favorite among quilters as there is no bulky buildup when micro stippling in machine quilting and the thread disappears in ditch quilting. It is also great for matching color on quilt backs. Aurifil thread has been used in many award winning quilts.

Aurifil was established in 1983 near Milano, Italy.

Aurifil has unique locking spools. Twist the end cap to remove the cap from the spool to get to the thread end. Return the cap to the spool and start sewing. When finished sewing, simply wrap the thread around the spool and return the end cap.

On the bottom of the cap, you will find thread color information so it is easy to reorder the color you need.

Size 80/12 machine needles recommended.

All spools are new and shrink wrapped.
