Aurifil Cotton Mako 50 thread is a 50 weight 2-ply thread made from the finest Egyptian long staple cotton and mercerised for a wonderful sheen. Aurifil 50wt is a very smooth thread with very little lint. It behaves extremely well through sewing machines and is easy to work with by hand. The colour is both light (UV) and wash fast. Suggested uses: This fine, but strong, thread produces a subtle effect when used for machine quilting. For machine quilting, we recommend using a Schmetz Quilting size 75 needle. For machine piecing, we recommend using a Schmetz Microtex 70 needle. Please note: We are using professional digital images supplied by Aurifil. The colours are as closely reproduced as possible, but be aware that colour images can vary slightly between monitors. If you have any queries whatsoever about thread colours, please ring us or send us a fabric swatch and we will be happy to match.
