Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aurifil 50wt best used for?
Aurifil 50wt Mako cotton is the all-purpose quilting standard -- fine enough for accurate piecing with flat seams, strong enough for machine quilting, and beautiful for hand applique. Most quilters use 50wt for piecing and either 50wt or 40wt for quilting.
What is InvisaFil and when should I use it?
InvisaFil is a 100wt cottonized polyester so fine it virtually disappears into fabric -- ideal for stitch-in-the-ditch, invisible machine applique, micro-quilting, and dense background fills where thread build-up would stiffen the quilt. Unlike nylon monofilament, it presses safely and has a soft matte finish.
Are designer thread sets worth it over individual spools?
Designer sets like the Tula Pink Untamed or Alison Glass collections are curated to match those designers' fabric palettes exactly, removing the guesswork of colour matching. For quilters working in those fabric lines, the set typically costs less than buying the same colours individually.
