MARK LIPINSKI!!!!

“What happens when a great Italian thread maker joins forces with a bold American quilter? You get thread with a passion.

Look, anyone who knows Mark Lipinski knows that I speak my mind and have passion for the truth. I’ve based my quilting career on it. So you can trust that when I put my name on a box of Aurifil thread, it’s not for celebrity or money, but for the pure love of the thread.

When you use a quality thread on your patchwork, quilting and embroidery you know it. And there is no better thread than my personal favorite, Aurifil. Here’s the deal: When I sit down to a project, I want to finish with the least thread breaks, without having to change spools, and produce projects that have the flattest seams and less bulk. I also want a smooth thread, one that’s practically lint free, machine washable and colorfast! Aurifil fits the bill.

While this imported Italian, 100% cotton Mako thread is super thin, it’s also super strong and has more thread on the spool than competing brands. There is no denying that it’s a great value and the favourite of traditional piecers, art quilters, long arm and home machine quilters, and embroiderers. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll be hooked just like I am!

I chose a few of my personal all-time favourite and most versatile colors to get you started, but don’t stop here.

Aurifil has 252 amazing colors to choose from including variegated threads.  Oh, and before I forget, can organizing your Aurifil threads be any easier? Use the Aurifil color card  to get the right thread for the right project every time.

Aurifil rocks, baby!”

The Aurifil Giveaway Day contribution is Mark Lipinski’s The Basics Collection.

A case filled with the best threads in neutral colors that every sewer can use for every season and project.  Perfect for piecing, detailed machine applique’, quilting and embroidery.

The Basics Collection includes:

12 spools of 100% cotton thread, 50WT  1422 yards – 1300 mt each

Colors : 2000 2021 2024 2310 2314 2325 2326 2370 2600 2605 2610 2692

  83. I’m going to sound so very BORING … the thread color I use most often is a medium gray. When I was making hats for an opera company, I learned how, when you don’t have a matching thread color, gray always works and if it shows, it reads as shadow on the stage (and in real life, too).

  161. The thread color that I use most is beige. For piecing, this year, I’m using lots of blue, red and white threads, for quilting, my customer quilts need lots of beiges, browns and greens.

  162. I use the light grey the most. Seems to go well with most everything I have to work on so that means more time quilting and less time changing thread!

  164. The colorI use the most is Aurifil light grey (the one in the middle of the two greys). I have been sewing lights and mediums with this color and eventually will transfer to the biege. Your box of favourites is the mostest! I could use another to have in my travel kit, … just sayin’

  166. I use white thread the most! I would really really love to win this thread!!

  167. The color of thread I use the most is grey! Piecing is mostly done with grey because it blends behind so many colors. For FMQ, it depends on the dominant color of the quilt top. 😀
