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

First time buyer of this thread. So far, I have used it for piecing, and all my vintage sewing machines love this thread. A friend of mine brought some over a while back and we tried it on the long arm and it works beautifully there too. I have loved to sew all my life and the thread of choice was Coats and Clarks. Love their poly wrapped cotton thread. Then all at once all you could find was 100% polyester thread in the local stores. OK, so learned to like it too. I could buy 500 yd spools for around $1.50 to 1.75. Then C&C went up a lot in price, ($3.50 per spool ) and reduced the number of yards on the spool to such a small amount, (i could only wind 3.5 bobbins and the spool was empty) that I started looking elsewhere for a good reasonable priced thread with enough on the spool to last through the piecing of at least on quilt. And the C&C thread was really linty, always had been, but it was all I knew. Aurifil is still a bit more twisty as it comes off the spool,and I can live with that. It doesnt break, gives a good strong seam, and it is thinner that the C&C thread that I was used to sewing with. The price per yard is very good too. 8-18-2016 Revision to my review: Halfway through the spool, the thread became very weak, unable to use the rest of thread on the spool.

Great product, great value.

Item as described.

the best thread.

I thought I would get back into sewing during my time at home. I decided to buy new thread to prevent difficulties due to using old thread. I read reviews and decided on the Aurifil. Im very disappointed. It has broken several times while sewing a pillow cover and then I heard two snaps when I put the cover on the pillow. I do not recommend this product.

Fast shipping, great quality,

I grateful to have found this thread. It will be my go to thread from now on.

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

I bought this thread on the recommendation of a quilting class teacher and look forward to completing many projects with excellent results.

My Baby Lock did like this thread, too thin
