    I love Aurifil Thread. It sews like a dream and there is very little lint. Comes in many weights and colors. Yes, a spool does last a long time. However, all of that said, I don't like being told what to do to or buy either and I agree that as long as you use good thread you should be OK. Yes, your machine will tell you. Have fun with your new machine.

    I couldn't find Aurifil listed for sale at the site you linked to...
    it's listed at $7+, cheaper than LQS but nowhere near the site Tristan that you gave us

    I placed an order with her for some thread to try it out and for some fabric she had on sale about 2 hours ago and just got notice that she has already shipped it. What service.

    I'm having trouble with this website. Each time I try to add another color, it opens a separate shopping cart. I got so frustrated, I closed the window without ordering anything. Anyone else have this problem?

    My experience with aurrfil is all positive. Your bobbins are fuller and hence last longer. The lint is almost nothing.
    The cost is not really that much more if we consider the amount of thread on a spool. I really like not having so much lint to deal with.

    I've owned a Bernina for many years. I just bought a new one. Once you own a Bernina, you're hooked.
    I use all kinds of threads. I may have to change needle types depending on the thread type. But, the machine will sew anything if you use the correct needle.
    So go sew and enjoy. There is a world of thread out there. I do a lot of thread play with my machine quilting. You can, too.

    That's my favorite thread in the world and worth every penny. And, yes, it lasts forever and my Bernina loves it. The one thread that I think is the worst, and I've tried out many of them, is Gutterman. It frays and doesn't appear to be very strong. I've never understood why JoAnn's carries so much of it. Back to Aurifil, it is harder to find it so when I do, I buy several white, cream and grey's.

    Just a follow up - if anyone has issues with the ordering, contact the shop. They were very helpful in placing my order via email. Great service!
