You will love Madeira’s Aeroquilt thread! This is a premium core-spun, 100% polyester thread which features a special finish, giving it the look and feel of a fine cotton thread, but with the strength and durability of polyester! Outstanding smoothness and perfect sliding properties. Although Madeira Aeroquilt has been engineered for high-speed longarm quilting machines to reduce thread breakage, Aeroquilt also works flawlessly on standard quilting machines and is also ideally suited for use with sewing and overlock machines. Aeroquilt is a 2-ply, 40 weight quilting thread (Dtex 135 x 2; Den 120 x 2), ensuring your quilts stand up to regular use and frequent washing. Aeroquilt is available in 48 solid colors and 12 variegated colours on 3000 Yard cones (2750 meters). Madeira Aeroquilt Thread is manufactured under strict guidelines and quality testing with environmentally friendly production methods. For best results use a #80/12 needle
