Review on ๐Ÿงต Aurifil 80wt Cotton Glorious Handwork Thread Set - Small Spools of 20 by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

thread knots and tears easily

The colors are beautiful, I tried to make some paper out of it and got frustrated very quickly. It binds easily even with wax. If you don't add wax, the thread may snap if you simply pull it through the cotton. When using wax, it breaks even more easily. I thought I would only use this thread for darning and even for small seams it still knots and makes sewing miserable. I have used Aurifil thread before and have not had this type of problem. I hope this is just a bad batch but it was a miserable experience using it.

Pros
  • 100% cotton; Premium quality quilting thread
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly

Loved that it glides so easily through the fabric

I purchased these to use for a hand applique project. The colors will closely match my fabrics.
