I'm an Aurifil convert!

[sewlucky]

I know I have brought up Aurifil in a couple of threads lately but I just have to do it again. I just finished quilt #3 with the same large spool of thread! Quilts were not huge, one 48x57, one 60x60 and today's is 50x50. All three quilts were pieced AND quilted with this spool, with all over FMQ on the 50x50. I really am impressed and will be spending a few dollars tomorrow at my local quilt shop's customer appreciation sale on thread!

Here's a pic of what is left on my spool

are you using invisible thread??

[sewlucky]

It seems like it! Lol. Pic is there now

I have a lot of thread from Connecting Threads and am using it for piecing. I bought some Aurifil to try and I love it so that is what I'm using for my quilting now.

I love the Aurifil too!!! So very worth it, and actually, it's cheaper in the long run. I tried the Connecting Threads but found it to be quite linty. If you are amazed with the Aurifil, try Superiors Bottomline in your bobbin.....it holds about 3x more than normal thread.

Yes the CT thread is linty and breaks easily. I took my machine to have it repaired and took the thread I use (CT), the lady barely pulled on the thread and it snapped.....it was not an old spool either so I've been seriously considering not using it at all, but I have so much that I don't have a clue what I would do with it. I will have to give Bottomline line a try.

Pat, I will see if they have it at my LQS tomorrow. It's a 25% off sale, so I'm going to get some white and gray Aurifil for sure. I'm still not so confident with my fmq that I have to have my thread stand out a lot. I know I will be able to use gray for two of the gifts on my Christmas project list for sure.

I was at a quilt shop and looking at the Aurifil thread and the lady told me there is one that blends with every color except white. It has kind of a greenish tint and I bought some and have used it and it does blend well.

I, too, love Aurifil for quilting - it leaves such a gorgeous trail of stitches - love it, love it, love it.

I will look Shirley! The cream one I've been using has worked well with all of my last three quilts. I will post a pic of the mot recent one tomorrow after I finish binding tonight.
