Follow That Thread - Kits and Notions

Aurifil Threads recently introduced Kits and Collections from quilt artists and designers like Mark Lipinski, Pat Sloan, Edyta Sitar and Marianne Byrne. What I love is the personalities really come out in the selections and the essentials are true must-haves in your thread stash. Check them out! For the ultimate gift, choose the Suitcase Collection, a.k.a. The Borsa. All qualify for free shipping anywhere in the USA.

We offer Schmetz needles in various styles for your sewing, quilting and embellishment needs. I use each of these needles in my own work and like the quality and consistency Schmetz needles provide. Each package includes five needles of the same size.
