-------------------------------------------------------------

Aurifil 50wt thread is ideal for all types of hand appliqué, sewing machine applications and long-arm quilting.

* Hand Appliqué.
From needle turning to using prepared shapes, the 50wt is thin and you can match your shape perfectly.

* Hand Piecing
A great weight for hand piecing.

* Lace
50wt is a wonder for both Bobbin lace & Machine lace.

* Machine Appliqué
Ideal when a very fine finish is desired. This weight disappears so your fabric is the feature. Use for a straight stitch, small zig zag , Blind hemming stitch , and Blanket stitch.

* Machine Embroidery
Great results every time. Use 50wt in the bobbin as well, or your regular bobbin thread – in which case tighten the top tension a little. Use a Microtex 80/12 needle.

* Machine piecing
Gives a great result with a nice flat seam every time.

* Machine quilting
Use for very detailed machine quilting with a lot of back tracking such as feathers and heavy background quilting . Perfect for quilting that creates texture when you don’t necessarily want to see the quilting lines. Use the same thread in the bobbin and a Sharp/Microtex, quilting or even denim needles 80/12.

* Longarm quilting
Perfect for creating texture where you don’t want the thread to be a feature. Backgrounds, stitch in the ditch, basting quilts, whole cloth quilting, micro quilting for dense background designs. Match bobbin thread.
