Collection: Longarm Thread Choices at The Stitching Corner

 Aurifil Forty3 – Strong, Beautiful, and Made for Quilters

At The Stitching Corner, every quilt entrusted to our longarm studio is stitched with Aurifil Forty3, the industry’s premium 40-weight, 3-ply thread designed specifically for longarm quilting. Forty3 delivers a perfect balance of strength, softness, and stitch definition—making it ideal for edge-to-edge designs, custom quilting, and heirloom pieces.

 

Why I Use Aurifil Forty3

As a longarm quilter, I choose materials that honor the time, love, and investment you put into your quilt top. Aurifil Forty3 offers:

  • Exceptional Strength: The 3-ply construction is built for high-speed longarm machines without breakage.
  • Smooth, Consistent Stitching: Minimal lint, fewer tension issues, and stunning stitch quality across all fabrics.
  • Beautiful Finish: A slightly fuller look than standard 40-weight thread, giving each design crisp definition without overwhelming your piecing.
  • Large Cones for Efficiency: Perfect for large quilts and intricate pantographs.

 

Thread Color Options

I maintain a curated collection of essential neutrals, versatile mid-tones, and popular color pops from the Aurifil Forty3 line. These shades are selected to blend beautifully with most quilt styles, from modern minimalism to detailed patchwork.

When booking your quilt, you can choose from:

  • Classic Neutrals: White, Natural White, Dove, Light Beige, Charcoal, Black
  • Soft Blends: Light grey, oatmeal, warm taupe
  • Color Pops: Select greens, pinks, teals, and blues for quilts that call for a decorative finish

Don’t see the perfect shade? I’m always happy to help you select a thread that enhances your quilt top—or order a special color for your project when possible.

 

How Thread Selection Works

When you schedule quilting services:

  1. You can specify your preferred thread color on the intake form.
  2. If you’re unsure, simply choose “Quilter’s Choice.” I’ll match the best-blending shade based on your quilt top and backing fabric.
  3. If you’d like a contrasting or decorative thread, let me know! I love helping create intentional details.

 

Quality You Can See and Feel

Your quilt deserves a finish that will last for generations. Aurifil Forty3 helps me deliver consistent, beautiful stitchwork—every time.
