aurafil thread

I would like to try this thread but need to know if the spools will fit on the machine without a special holder? They all seem to have 1400 yds of thread on the spool and not sure if it will fit. I really dont want to use anything but the machine spool holder.



Thanks, Annie


Aurifil does just fine on a horizontal holder. It sort of wobbled on the vertical holder; easily solved. I just slipped a plain old drinking straw over it and the fit was a little snugger. Actually, it didn't matter that it wobbled a little. I just thought it might. Polly

Oops, just read the subject as "awful thread"!!! Hope it isn't!

I know it is supposed to make a difference. However, I have used both kinds of spools on both vertical & horizontal spool holders and my machine doesn't really seem to care which I use. That doesn't mean that your machine will be the same. Try it and see. The Aurifil does work just fine on the horizontal spool holder on my Elna, but I have also used it on the vertical holder.
