Free motion quilting design – playing with Aurifil 28wt thread

Here is a new free quilt design for my newsletter subscribers- it is great for free motion quilting practice.

You know I adore free motion quilting. For this little piece, I used Aurifil 28wt thread.

If you haven’t used this weight yet, give it a try.

It’s heavier than the thread we usually use for quilting (40wt or 50wt) but my sewing machine did not notice the difference: it sews beautifully with it!

In the bobbin I used Aurifil 50wt thread.

Because the thread is heavier, the color is more visible on the quilt;  this weight is great to use when you want to give definition to your quilting.

And the beautiful spools!!

Other projects using this thread weight are in the works. Stay tuned!
