Review on 🧵 Aurifil Thread 2260 Wine Cotton Mako 50wt Large Spool 1300m: Premium Quality Sewing Thread for Crafts & Apparel by Kim Sanchez

I've now started using red sewing thread to see how my stitches will go, which is especially useful when I want to line up the dots before sewing. I stick to a fairly tight stitch length (1.5 to 1.8) so the seam doesn't stretch so much that you can see the color. Therefore, using thread of the same color as the fabric is not necessary for sewing quilts on most things. Aurifil is a luxury for machine sewing, but I love how smooth and lint-free this needle thread is. It's about twice the price of high-quality polypropylene with the same mini bolt size, so it's not too badly priced. Once you try Aurifil you will realize how thin, strong and SMOOTH this 100% cotton thread is and you will want to use it all the time and for everything. More importantly, the highest quality helps keep your expensive sewing machine in tip-top condition, as lint and lint is kept to a minimum and Aurifil's smoothness glides over your machine as if it were oiled. Revain is a great place to get Aurifil as they have all colors and competitive prices. This mini screw size fits most modern sewing machines as it is approximately the size of a regular spool of thread at 1000 yards or more.
