LONGARM QUILTING
AeroQuilt
"AeroQuilt is the best quilting thread I've ever used. It's lustrous and strong and works beautifully for the dense, free-motion quilting I favor. With 36 solid colors and 12 variegated to choose from I'm always sure of the perfect color for my textile art. It's 40 weight, so perfect for general sewing too."

What People Are Saying About Madeira Threads
"I used Madeira for embroidery and when I got my longarm decided to try AeroQuilt because I was constantly struggling with thread issues when using the brand recommended by the manufacturer. Quilts like a dream! It's the only brand my machine likes, so now it's all I use."
"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!"
"Thank you for offering the best thread and products on the market! I'm very particular about what I use for quilting, sewing, and embroidery — and I always teach new sewers to choose quality. I truly appreciate your excellent products!"
