The world of applique just got more exciting because Aurifil is introducing a new 80 wt. thread at Fall Quilt Market! Can you imagine a thread from Aurifil intended specifically for applique? I’ve had the exciting task of testing this thread and I actually used it to stitch my bunny block for The Splendid Sampler. I’m in love with it!
I used it for some English Paper Piecing and loved it even more. With color and quality as only Aurifil can do, this 80wt. thread is the perfect companion for applique. It stitches like a dream. They’re going to start with a selection of 88 colors!
There’s only one place you can buy this thread before market. It’s available from my friend Kimberly over at The Fat Quarter Shop! She has 36 of the colors available now, in six collections. Over the next few months she’ll be telling you about each one. It’s an applique event you don’t want to miss.
Are you a trendsetter, a dazzle girl or an essential lover? I suggest getting them all. Aurifil 80 wt thread, applique and The Fat Quarter Shop! You are in for a treat!

This sounds beautiful. I’m new to aurifil thread and you! The fabric you used in the hexagons is beautiful…is this your fabric? If so, what collection? Thank you!
I love the colors! What I REALLY need to know is the story on these hexies! Is this a new pattern coming? I am hoping for a kit. ;)
Whoo-hoo! I love Aurifil for applique, and now I’m pretty sure I will love it even more!! I’ll definitely start with the Essential!
I do believe I’m a Trendsetter! :-)
Oh my. I’ll have to be on the lookout for this!
Would that be for machine and hand applique as well? What about embroidery? Your bunny block is adorable.
OOOO! can’t wait to try that thread.
I am mostly an essentials girl but I do some occasional machine applique so I live having some basic colors to match my fabrics.
This is exciting news. I can’t wait to try some!
Love your bunny and hexies 😍 Need to get me some thread too 👍🏼
Exciting news! Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for all of the info. I’ll watch for Kimberly’s updates, and yours.
Beautiful colors Anne. Can’t wait to get my hands on some of this thread!
What can I say? If it’s Aurifil, it must be good. Looking forward to the introductions by Kimberly at fatquartershop
Ok, this IS exciting news! Thanks, Anne, for the heads up on this!
I use the Aurifil 50 wt for appliqué and Love it. Is this enough better to invest in a whole new set of colors as I already have a huge collection of the 50 wt?
Love the colors…….will have to start doing moe embroidery!
They look like a treat and the colors are amazing! I think I will build a 80wt. stash:-)
Hi Anne, is the thread for hand or machine appliqué? Thanks in advance.
Ooh…Ahhhhh…. 80 weight thread has got to be a dream for applique! Can’t wait to get my hands on some.
Ooooh! Can you tell us more about why you love this? I’m SO into applique, and if you like this thread so much, I’d like to know more. I’ll probably have to have it all! :D
I am looking forward to trying it!
This thread sounds like a dream, and the colors are amazing! It would be hard to choose just one collection, like trying to decide which pastry you’ll have off the cart :)
