Aurifil 50wt Mako Cotton Thread (6452yds) Details
Product Description
To produce first-rate quilts and embroidery projects, use a superior quality thread like Aurifil's Mako Cotton Thread. This 50-weight thread produces virtually no lint, making it ideal for English paper piecing, machine applique (straight stitch, zig-zag, blind hem, and blanket stitch), basting, bobbin/machine lace, dense background designs, and so much more.
All of Aurifil's thread is 100% Egyptian cotton that is grown in the Mako region of Egypt and manufactured in Milan, Italy. To make their 2-ply Mako Cotton Thread even more luxurious, it is mercerized to add strength and to give the strands a vibrant sheen. With all these fantastic features, it's no wonder why Aurifil thread is famous for its versatility, strength, and radiant color.
Each cone in the Mako Cotton Thread collection holds 6452-yards (5900 meters). To get the best results, Aurifil recommends that you use a size 80/12 microtex/sharp, universal, quilting, or denim needle for everyday use or a 4.0 needle when quilting with a longarm.

I bought one of these spools in 2017. Since then, I've made 39 quilts and more than 250 pillowcases using that spool and it's still not empty! This soft gray color works with almost all colors for piecing blocks and other projects. Best purchase I've made for my sewing room in the last 16 years!
I love this cotton thread. I make a lot of quilts all year and lint is not a problem at all. The size of this spool is wonderful. I can sew for a tremendous amount of time without changing spools. The cost of one spool is high but if you figure out the yards of this one compared to multiple smaller spools you come out ahead in the long run. Save when you buy it on sale.
I like the thread. Your customer service was excellent. The price was considerably more than I have since found on amazon for the same spool size, weight and color. I could have had it overnight instead of waiting for the 7-10 days it took to receive it from your company. I will not be reordering my thread from you.
However, I do enjoy your quilting tutorials. Amazon doesn't have any of those... ;-)
I always use this aurifil thread when piecing a quilt. I have used it exclusively for at least twenty years. It doesn't fray and leave dust all over. It makes a nice seam and holds up well .
This thread is the perfect color to blend in with most of my fabrics. It is perfect as it does noit break as I am free motion quilting or quilting with my ruler. I love it!
Works very nice in machine and is a color that works well with many other colors in piecing of quilts. Don’t have to change often. I usually have 4 or 5 different quilt tops creating at the same time.
I love and use Aurifil thread a lot. The bigger spool will be great for my longarm sewing machine. I go through a lot of Aurifil thread. I received the thread in a timely fashion. Very quickly. Great service.
I love Aurifil thread. My machine loves Aurifil thread. Not as linty as other threads. Good price. I like the free shipping with a qualifying order, too. Arrived on the estimated delivery date.
