Item Description:
Stitch smoothly with Aurifil Cotton Mako 50wt Thread. This 1300m spool is a fine, strong, 100% mercerized cotton thread made from long-staple Egyptian cotton and trusted by quilters for accurate piecing, smooth machine performance, and low-bulk seams.
Aurifil 50wt is one of the most versatile thread weights for quilting and sewing. It is especially popular for machine quilt piecing because it helps seams press neatly and keeps blocks accurate, but it is also a wonderful choice for machine quilting, appliqué, English Paper Piecing, hand piecing, and general sewing.
This listing is for Aurifil color 2325, named Linen, a warm taupe-brown neutral. |
SewEndipitous® Maker’s Note:
Linen is a practical neutral with a little more depth than beige or cream. It blends beautifully with taupes, tans, browns, linen-look fabrics, reproduction prints, primitive palettes, warm florals, and earthy low-volume backgrounds.
