FAQs- Frequently Asked Questions
Can AeroQuilt be used on a domestic sewing machine?
While designed for longarm machines, AeroQuilt works well on domestic machines when tension and needle size are adjusted.
How does AeroQuilt compare to cotton thread?
AeroQuilt offers the soft feel of cotton with the durability and low lint of polyester, making it more reliable for extended quilting sessions.
Will AeroQuilt create more lint in my machine?
AeroQuilt is engineered to be low-lint, helping reduce cleaning and bobbin-case buildup, even during high-speed stitching.
What needle size should I use with AeroQuilt?
A Longarm 110/18 gives the best thread delivery. On a domestic or midarm machine, a Topstitch 100/16 works well.
What bobbin thread pairs best with AeroQuilt?
Use a strong, balanced bobbin thread — either polyester or cotton. A well-matched bobbin keeps tension even and stitches clean.
What's the benefit of core-spun polyester?
It combines a strong core with a smooth outer wrap for excellent stitch quality, reduced breakage, and a cotton-like appearance.
Can I use AeroQuilt for both edge-to-edge and custom work?
Yes. It's consistent enough for all-over, edge-to-edge coverage and strong and flexible enough for free-motion and detailed custom motifs.
How do I keep tension consistent at high speed for my longarm machine?
Test your tension at the speed you'll actually quilt. AeroQuilt's core-spun construction stays stable under stress, so once it's dialed in it holds. Clean the bobbin area after extended runs for peak performance.
Is AeroQuilt suitable for high-volume or production quilting?
Yes. Low breakage at speed, low lint, and 3000-yard cones make it well suited to long sessions and large-scale production without constant re-threading or cleaning.
What are AeroQuilt's longarm quilting thread specifications?
100% core-spun polyester, 40wt (dtex 135×2), 3000 yd cones, soft sheen / matte finish, Longarm 110/18 or Topstitch 100/16 needle, compatible with longarm, midarm, and domestic machines.
Loved by quilters everywhere
"Aeroquilt is the best quilting thread I've ever used. Its lustrous and strong and works beautifully for the dense, free motion quilting I favor. With 36 solid colors and 122 variegated to choose from I'm always sure of the perfect color for my textile art. Its 40 weight, so perfect for general sewing too."
"Madeira is the best longarm thread I've ever used! It wound onto my M bobbin effortlessly, and adjusting the tension was surprisingly quick. It sews beautifully and looks fantastic on my quilt. I've already ordered more and won't use anything else. Thank you for an amazing product!"
"As a professional long-arm quilter and educator, thread performance is everything- and that's why I chose Madeira AeroQuilt. It's incredibly strong, which means fewer interruptions and smoother stitching, even at high speeds. The low lint keeps my machine running cleaner, and the subtly sheen adds a beautiful polished finish to every quilt. AeroQuilt gives me the reliability and quality I need to stay focused on creativity, not troubleshooting."
