The 50wt/2ply thread is Aurifil's most versatile and most popular Cotton thread. The 50wt is strong and thin, and results in remarkably flat and crisp seams. While it is wonderful for piecing, subtle quilting and topstitching, and English Paper Piecing it also works incredibly well for Needle Turn Applique, Bobbin and Machine Lace, Machine Applique (Straight Stitch, Zig Zag, Blind Hem and Blanket Stitch,) Machine Embroidery, Dense Machine Quilting, Subtle Machine and Longarm Quilting, Basting, Whole Cloth and Micro Quilting, and Dense Background Designs.
Needle Recommendations: - 80/12 Microtex/Sharp, Universal, Quilting, or Denim Needles (50wt in the bobbin) -4.0 Long Arm Needle (50 wt in the bobbin)
