Thread

Aurifil

Aurifil’s 50wt/2ply thread is versatile and popular cotton thread. It is available in 270 colors, and is wound on the iconic orange spool. The 50wt is strong and thin, and results in remarkably flat and crisp seams. While it is wonderful for piecing, subtle quilting & topstitching, and English Paper Piecing it also works incredibly well for Needle Turn Applique, Bobbin and Machine Lace, Machine Applique (Straight Stitch, ZigZag, Blind Hem and Blanket Stitch,) Machine Embroidery, Dense Machine Quilting, Subtle Machine and Longarm Quilting, Basting, Whole Cloth and Micro Quilting, and Dense Background Designs.

Glide

Glide is a trilobal polyester thread produced from high-tenacity filament yarn. Elongation variation from color to color is minimal ensuring uniform tension throughout each and every spool. Glide utilizes special technology to capture a beautiful luster within the fibers of a colorfast polyester thread. Glide runs virtually lint-free through your machine's needle & tensioners.
