Aurifil

Aurifil spins premium Egyptian cotton in Italy into the thread quilters describe as buttery — low lint, strong, and beautiful in both piecing and quilting. Shop 50wt large spools for piecing, 12wt for bold hand stitching, plus 40wt, 80wt, and designer sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Aurifil weight should I use for piecing?

50wt is the classic choice — fine enough for flat, accurate seams but strong enough to trust. 80wt is even finer for applique and English paper piecing; 12wt shines in big-stitch hand quilting.

Why is Aurifil low lint?

Long-staple Egyptian cotton and tight Italian spinning leave far less fuzz in your machine, which means less cleaning and smoother tension.
