My favourite thread for piecing & quilting is 100% Cotton Mako' from Aurifil. I have included information here about how it can be used on both domestic and Longarm machines.

Why Do I like quilting with cotton thread?


How do I stop the thread slipping off the Aurilux spools?

All shiny polyester & rayon threads have a tendency to slip and fall off the spool rather than feeding off smoothly. This can cause the stitches to loop and the thread to catch on the thread guides. 

To prevent this, lightly wrap a strip of plastic wrap (yes ... common kitchen wrap such as gladwrap) around the spool leaving the thread free to feed from the top of the spool.

How can I identify the spool colour?

There should be a 4 digit colour code number printed on the base of each spool.

How can I easily identify the thread weight?

Each Aurifil thread is packaged on a coloured spool coded according to thread weight:

Red Spools Ne12 Cotton Mako'
Ne 12 Lana wool blend
Grey spools:  Ne 28  Cotton Mako'
Orange spools:  Ne 50 Cotton Mako'
Green spools Ne 40 Cotton Mako' 
White spools Ne 36 Aurilux

How can I keep the thread tails tidy on the spool?

The base of the spool holder is designed to click on & off the spool shaft and can be used to lock the thread tail in place to prevent the spool unravelling.
