New Madeira Aeroquilt Premium Quilting Thread Surprises Longarmers

April 3, 2014 - PRLog -- From technically advanced sewing machines and software to new accessories that make life easier, sewing enthusiasts are opening their minds to new ideas and methods. Technology has improved thread, too. In fact, thread has changed so much that Madeira is introducing a new longarm quilting thread that might break tradition for some quilters:  Madeira Aeroquilt Premium Quilting Thread.

Many longarm quilters have a loyalty to cotton thread, but Madeira is suggesting something different. Aeroquilt Premium Quilting Thread is a 40-weight, 100% polyester thread. Polyester is generally more colorfast and durable than cotton, but this thread still gives a cotton-like finish. That means it is soft and gentle on fabric while still strong enough to withstand the speed of longarm machines.

Each cone is core spun for longevity after washing and stretching. This ensures that even the most loved quilts will hold up. And, quilters are sure to find a color that matches their projects; Aeroquilt 3,000-yard cones are available in 24 colors, 12 solid and 12 variegated.

Madeira embroidery, multi-purpose sewing, and piecing thread have helped make Madeira a name that sewers can trust. Like other Madeira products, Aeroquilt is manufactured under stringent quality testing with environmentally friendly production methods. These strict manufacturing guidelines help make Aeroquilt another reliable thread in the Madeira thread line.

As sewing technology improves, helpful new notions will continue to hit the market. Tradition is important, but change can be beneficial, too.  Madeira saw an opportunity to change standards in longarm thread. The new polyester Aeroquilt just may be the go-to quilting thread from now on.
