Aurifil’s 100% Eyptian cotton 40wt/2ply thread is terrific for Longarm Quilting, Cross Stitch, Hand Piecing, Bobbin and Machine Lace, Machine Applique, Machine Embroidery, Edge-to-Edge, and Pantographs.

Because of its slightly thicker weight, it is perfect for use with sewing bags, toys or dolls, garments, or when a more defined topstitching or quilting pattern is desired.
