Screen settings, lighting and dye lots can affect appearance. Check your selected variant for current availability. Before you beginA considered starting point. Start with an 80/12 sharp or Microtex needle, adjusted for your fabric, technique and machine. Aurifil 50wt can also be used in the bobbin. Test the stitch and tension on your project layers before sewing the finished piece. For longarm quilting, follow your machine’s needle-system guidance and test the setup. Keep the finish looking its bestCare follows the colour. Care instructions depend on the shade’s dye group; not all solid colours share the same wash and bleach guidance. Check your four-digit shade code against Aurifil’s colour and care guide, then follow the most restrictive instructions for the thread, fabric and batting. Test a stitched sample before washing the finished piece. View Aurifil’s colour and care guide The details at a glanceAurifil 50wt 1300m specifications Brand Aurifil Range Cotton Mako 50wt Fibre 100% Egyptian long-staple cotton Construction 50wt, 2-ply, mercerised Length 1300 metres / approximately 1422 yards Format Large orange spool Made in Italy Product reference MK50SC6; colour identified by the four-digit shade code Selection 113 solid colours Supplied One 1300m spool in the shade selected Good questions, clear answersChoosing your solid colour Is 50wt suitable for piecing and quilting?Yes. It is a fine option for patchwork piecing and understated quilting, as well as English paper piecing and appliqué. A heavier thread may be preferable when you want a more pronounced decorative line.Which neutral should I choose?Compare a few shades with your fabric in natural light. Natural White 2021, Muslin 2311 and Dove 2600 offer different starting points; a short test seam is more useful than choosing from a screen alone.Does a solid colour stay the same along the thread?A solid shade is designed as a single colour, unlike a variegated thread that changes colour along its length. Lighting, screen settings and dye lots can still affect perceived colour.Is this a large spool or a cone?This is the 1300m large orange spool. Aurifil’s separate 5900m cone is a different format and is not supplied here.How do I find the thread end?Aurifil’s large spool has a removable base. Gently twist and remove it to release the thread end, then replace it before use.Choose a colour that belongs in your quilt. Start with a quiet neutral or a confident colour. Match your fabric, plan your finish and keep the shade code close for next time. Browse 113 solid colours
