Aurifil A1050-2024 Mako Cotton Thread Solid 50WT 1422Yds White

I bought this thread for hand quilting based on the rave reviews. I was super excited, but, when I received it, was a little taken aback by how thin it was. But, despite being an experienced hand-quilter, I thought it was me. I thought I was doing something wrong, because the thread kept breaking. Im going back to Gutermanns, because this stuff sucks.

It is the only thread I use for piecing.

Just what I wanted and it arrived just as scheduled.

Not enough strength for what I needed it for.

This is a strong thin cotton thread with very little lint. Great for patchwork piecing.

Perfect thread to see with. Goes along way Pricey but its worth it.

Superfine thread for hand sewing. Works on my Singer Featherweight, too.

This is the only 2-ply 50 I can find. Id like more colors.

Heard so many great things about Aurifil, thought I would give it a try, but the thread keeps breaking! I was using this on my sewing machine for quilt piecing, with 100% quilting cotton fabric. Very frustrating, thought this would be my new go-to thread, but makes me not want to try the Aurifil brand ever again... Update: Based on others’ reviews, I did try Aurifil again, but purchased the thread through the company that I purchase quilting fabrics from. That thread does NOT break! I think the others are right, the one sold here must either be counterfeit or somehow the quality has been degraded.

oh yes use a lot
