Aurifil Thread

I love thread. Having said that, my thread collection is very minimal.  After I bought my new Bernina, I threw away my entire Connecting Threads thread collection.  It wasn’t a high enough quality and left a lot of lent in my machine.  I made a point of only using quality, low lent threads going forward.

Aurifil thread, I found, is my best choice for 100% cotton.  I love their colors and it has very minimal lint. I also like the sizes available.  My favorite size for piecing and quilting projects is the 50 wt. medium spool that contains 1,422 yards.

I never have the colors that I need for smaller projects, though and in an attempt to build my thread stash, I joined the monthly Aurifil Thread Club from the Fat Quarter Shop. You get 4 (220 yd.) spools of thread each month for $14.98 plus shipping.
