I have used it for machine quilting as well, but only quilt small pieces. I switched over from Mettler thread to Aurifil years ago, and couldn't be happier! I buy basic colors of it in the large cone, and it lasts forever!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849145995938499338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755915205092949801.post-52271315130688072052015-03-21T17:39:28.515-06:002015-03-21T17:39:28.515-06:00I just discovered 12 Wt.

I do lower the tension on the 'Nina to about 3.0 for Aurifil (too tight tension may be why your other commenter is not getting good results with Aurifil on her Bernina). I use the 50 weight Aurifil for piecing and for dense background quilting, but the 40 weight is nice for quilting designs that are more open, with less backtracking, and a longer stitch length. Just a different look.

It works great with my Singer Featherweights but when quilting, I use my Bernina. I can't figure it out. I use Wonderfil thread for quilting.

I just started using a 50wt with this brand Aufifil and it is everything you say. But I also used the 40wt and I don't know the difference. Which one is supposed to be in the bobbin or can you use both? Your style of quilting is what I aim for so I am looking for your suggestions. Also, is there one used just for piecing on the machine?? thank you for your advicebonniequilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994371423075386590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755915205092949801.post-87914294985221360632015-03-21T07:57:51.308-06:002015-03-21T07:57:51.308-06:00Thank you SO much for this post!

Only recently I found a shop that sells Aurifil 50 weight cotton and bought one spool originally to quilt a quilt and I fell in love. It is sooooo smooth to quilt with and when I encountered problems with a new spool of Mettler that seemed to break and lint (probably been in the shop for ages and pushed to the back of stand for ages) I put on the leftover of the Aurifil to finish a block. Now I want to use up the rest of my Mettler and cross to Aurifil. Sadly it is very hard to come by where I am. I haven't seen it in a heavier variety but have some poly longarm thread I use for machine embroidery (got it years ago on mainland Europe and that is lovely to use too.<br />Love your quilt - so cheerful Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
