We are SO excited to collaborate with Aurifil to bring you this collection of beautiful threads. This thread collection is of the highest quality and is beautiful for both hand and machine sewing.

Aurifil’s 50wt thread is the most versatile and popular of their cotton threads. It is perfect for both piecing, subtle quilting and English Paper Piecing.  The colours have been chosen to blend with the Alice’s Wonderland quilt BOM to enable subtle stitching, but even if not a part of this BOM these threads will still be a great addition to your sewing box.  It is very strong and thin, and results in remarkably flat and crisp seams making it a great thread for patchworking.  It is also perfect for invisible ditch stitching, as the thread disappears into the valley between the seams.
7 spools of 50wt, 200m (220 yds). Colours and Aurifil Codes 2423, 2405, 2105, 5007, 2715, 2560, 2615.
100% Cotton Thread
Uses: English Paper Piecing, Hand Piecing, Needle Turn Applique, Machine Applique, Embroidery, Machine Quilting, Blind Hem, Dense Machine Quilting, Whole Cloth and Micro Quilting, and Dense Background Designs.

Other supplies you will need to complete your quilt:

  • Thread and medium/fine hand-sewing needles (available in our on-line shop’s Haberdashery section). We will also sell a special Aurifil thread pack which will be specially chosen to complement the colours of this quilt – this will be available soon.
