Aurifil Cotton 50wt Thread: Light Sand (2000)

Aurifil’s 50wt/2ply thread is their most versatile and most popular cotton thread. Available in a wide range of colours, it is wound on their iconic orange spool. The 50wt is strong and thin, and results in wonderfully flat and crisp seams. While this is a great thread for piecing, subtle quilting and 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.

Aurifil Needle Recommendations:

• 80/12 Microtex/Sharp, Universal, Quilting, or Denim Needles (50wt in the bobbin)
• 4.0 Longarm Needle (50wt in the bobbin)
