Add soft, decorative color to your stitching with Aurifil Cotton Mako 12wt Thread. This 50m spool is a heavier-weight, 100% cotton thread designed for projects where the stitches are meant to be seen and enjoyed.
Aurifil 12wt is a lovely choice for big-stitch quilting, hand embroidery, wool appliqué, decorative machine stitching, topstitching, embellishment, and visible handwork. Because it is heavier than standard piecing thread, it creates a more pronounced stitch line with a beautiful cotton finish.

SewEndipitous® Maker’s Note:
A 12wt thread is perfect when the stitching is part of the design instead of something you want to hide. This soft pink would be especially sweet for floral projects, baby quilts, spring appliqué, Valentine stitching, decorative accents, and any project that needs a gentle pop of color.
It is a wonderful thread to keep nearby for those little handwork details that make a project feel extra personal.

Skill Note:
Aurifil 12wt is heavier than standard quilt piecing thread, so it is best used for decorative or visible stitching rather than regular quilt piecing. Always test on a fabric scrap first, especially when using it in a sewing machine, to make sure your needle, tension, and stitch length are working well together.
