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, stitch length, and fabric are working well together.
