Exciting New Aurifil Thread
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. ;)

Would that be for machine and hand applique as well? What about embroidery? Your bunny block is adorable.

I am mostly an essentials girl but I do some occasional machine applique so I live having some basic colors to match my fabrics.

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?
Susan
Love the colors…….will have to start doing moe embroidery!
Hildy
They look like a treat and the colors are amazing! I think I will build a 80wt. stash:-)

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

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 :)
