Description

Aurifil's Mako Cotton 50wt/2ply is the most popular and versatile thread in the Aurifil lineup. Known for being exceptionally thin yet remarkably strong, it is the "gold standard" for quilting, particularly for achieving perfectly flat seams.

Key Features & Performance

  • Material: 100% Long Staple Egyptian Mako Cotton, which is mercerized to create a high-sheen, smooth finish.
  • Low Lint: Celebrated by machine technicians for being virtually lint-free, which prevents buildup in your bobbin case and tension disks.
  • 2-Ply Construction: Most 50wt cotton threads are 3-ply; Aurifil's 2-ply design makes it much thinner, allowing it to "sink" into the fabric for nearly invisible seams and detailed quilting.
  • Identification: Easily identified by the iconic Orange Wood-Style Spool.
  • Length: 1300m / 1422yds per spool

Common Applications

  • Piecing: Its thinness ensures that seam allowances are precise and blocks stay the correct size.
  • English Paper Piecing (EPP): A favorite for hand-sewing because it glides through fabric without tangling.
  • Appliqué: Ideal for both hand and machine appliqué where you want the thread to disappear into the shape.
  • Machine Embroidery: Provides a soft, flat finish for lace and micro-embroidery.
  • Quilting: Perfect for subtle quilting, topstitching, dense machine quilting, whole cloth, and micro quilting.

Technical Recommendations

  • Needle Size: Best paired with a Sharps/Microtex 80/12 or Quilting 75/11 needle.
  • Bobbin Use: Highly recommended to use the same 50wt thread in the bobbin for consistent tension.
