Ti Amo Signor Aurifil

Posted by on
That's "I love you Mr Aurifil" in Italian because Mr Aurifil, aka Alex Veronelli is Italian, as is Aurifil thread.  Why do I love Mr Aurifil?  Because I casually mentioned to him that you all said you wanted lots of giveaway prizes rather than one great big doozy, that you'd asked for a selection of weights and types of thread so you could try out Aurifil for yourselves and that you'd like a colour card thrown in so you could then order the exact colour you wanted and guess what?  Mr Aurifil, he say YEAH!  So we have ten packs to give away.  Each pack will contain five spools of thread; one of each weight in cotton and one wool. 


 And each pack will also contain a colour card.  Hurray!
To win?  Simple, one comment with the word "Aurifil" in.  If you use Aurifil, let me know what you use it for or why you love it or where you buy it or how many thread weights you've tried or some other random Aurifil-related fact I might be interested to know.  If you haven't tried it yet, let me know why you would like to, what you would like to use it for or why you haven't tried it before.  A week from today, Mr Random Number Generator will pick ten, yes ten winners.  Andiamo!

    I use Aurifil for piecing. I love the thread...it causes less lint in my machine and there are so many colors you can match anything...

    I have loved Aurifil for years! It is only available in one shop locally, but it is worth the extra trouble to get it. Very little lint and it is just amazing!

    Well, who doesn't like to win thread????

    I have really not used Aurifil enough to get a handle on it. One of these packages would be just the ticket.

    Thx for the chance to win.

    I haven't used Aurifil yet, but I'd like to get a bit more organised about threads.

    I am a pretty new quilter, but have been sewing for decades, mostly clothing. In that department, I generally use what I find in my threads drawer and what matches the fabric at hand. I seem to be well stocked with all kinds of remainders, big and small, "legacy" spools, and some large cones of all purpose thread in kinda all purpose colors.

    But I suspect that there might be just the perfect yarn for quilting, and maybe even for different types of quilting. So I would love to win and try out Aurifil's awesomeness!

    I use the 50/2 weight Aurifil for all of my quilt piecing. I love it! For some reason, the bobbin seems to last forever (which is great) and I find my 1/4" seams to be more accurate. I would really like to win one of your variety packages so I can try some of the other weights. Thanks for the chance! :)

  31. Little Island Quilting11 July 2011 at 18:38

    Ooh ooh ooh, a thread giveaway - I'm interested. I use the Aurifil 50/2 thread for piecing and sometimes quilting. Less for quilting though because I get it from the Cotton Patch and they only stock 10 colours in the neutral range so it's kind of been a useful piecing thread. If I knew where to get more colours I'd definitely be up for quilting with it as well.

    Oooooh Aurifil - that is a great giveaway!
    As I told you in your last post about this - I use 50 wt and 60wt for piecing - which means that I use the 60 wt in the bobbin and it lasts longer because I get more on the bobbin than when I use heavier wt thread and the result is great! I use the 12wt for stitchery and it is soooo great, I used to divide the mouline and use 2 strands making a mess of the thread I didn't need. The 12wt is perfect for my use.

  38. Shevvy11 July 2011 at 18:46

    I want in on the freebies! Very clever of you to ask nice Mr Aurifil. I love using it, I have only used 50wt and it is great FMQ. Never tangles or gives me tension problems. Ecru is a great colour for piecing, almost invisible against most colours.

    Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous thread. I use Auriful 50 wt for piecing and some quilting in my Juki, because it loves the thread and gives me great results when I use it. I have to mail order it, so my color palette is limited. If I won the card, I could choose my colors carefully.

    A friend of mine brought me 4 spools of Aurifil from her travels as a gift for taking care of her dog. The best gift ever! The thread was wonderful to work with. I swear the bobbins lasted twice as long. Same with the spool. The thread didn't leave a bunch of lint around either, it was strong/no breakage or slubs (unlike the spool I just bought of another brand). Love it... and wish I could dog sit again soon!

    I'm a new Aurifil user, as in the last few months. I LOVE it. I use 50 wt for piecing and quilting so far and would like to try other weights for quilting. I love that it leaves hardly any lint which is a must for someone who sews as much as I do. I order mine from Discount Embroidery, they have great prices and free shipping on orders over $20. I have only ordered from them once and had a little snafu on the time it took to ship to me (they said part of my order was out of stock but I didn't find that out until after I emailed them to see what the hold up was), but I will give them another try because let's face it, sometimes stuff happens, right?

    Thanks for this giveaway because I really need a color card (so I can stop bugging my friend who does have one, lol) and I would love to try those other weights out. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get picked!

    I would love to win the Aurifil. I have purchased it once as I was looking for a higher quality, lower lint, thread. My Elna did not like it first try. After taking a machine quilting class where the teacher raved about Aurifil I decided to try it again. Absolutely no problem. I suspect that it wasn't the thread (ya think?) the first time, I suspect that it had been a while since I cleaned my machine. It's nice it's smooth .... and now I will definately buy more in yummy colors.

    How I solved the remembering to clean my machine more often problem? I always spool two bobbins of the same color thread at a time. I read somewhere else, a personal tip, that said "Everytime you use two bobbins, clean your machine". As I was already doing two bobbins each time, it was easy to add this tip to my routine. Toni

    I love to try quilting with Aurifil. I've not seen it locally and have heard great things about it. I'm a newer quilter so I don't really have any allegiances yet, so this is a great opportunity for Aurifil!

    I piece and I quilt with Aurifil. I love the range of colours, it unwinds smoothly from the spool and I've had no troubles with thread breakage. I also appreciate that the spools allow you to tuck in the thread end, so that I don't end up with a tangle of threads!

    My favorite thing about Aurifil thread is finishing the spool. That's 500 yds of thread! That means I did a lot of sewing! And I save the orange spools (that's what 50 wt Aurifil comes on) and use them to hold rolled up binding... if I ever get to the binding stage.

    Oh, I was just thinking about Aurifil last night. See, I have never used it, but I picked up a spool to give it a try. Well, last night we had a flash flood in our neighborhood. Luckily, we only had one room in the basement flood, not as bad as a lot of people. Unlucky for me, the one room was my sewing studio. I didn't lose much, but my thread cabinet was coated in mud. Most were safe, as they are tucked into drawers. But sitting right on top? My one lonely Aurifil spool waiting to be tried. So please please please, Mr. Random, pick me?!

I have an Aurifil five spool variety pack, but haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. Frankly, until your blog about it, I was unsure of the purpose of each thread.
