Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What needle size works best with Aurifil 50wt thread?
A: A Universal 80/12 or Microtex 80/12 needle is generally recommended for 50wt thread in most quilting cottons and light- to medium-weight fabrics.

Q: Is Aurifil 50wt suitable for machine quilting?
A: Yes. Aurifil 50wt is a favorite for both domestic and longarm quilting because it creates fine, smooth stitches and adds subtle texture without overwhelming the quilting design.

Q: Can I use this thread set for hand sewing?
A: While designed primarily for machine use, Aurifil 50wt can also be used for hand piecing and applique; you may prefer a shorter length of thread and a fine hand-sewing needle.
