Aerofil is made by Madeira (not to be confused with AURIFIL, lol). I've always found it quite a thin thread and have never thought of it as a quilting thread. Have you changed your batting?Originally Posted by Genden
edit. Just realized you are using Aerofil thread and I didn't know there was such a brand. My search doesn't show that it comes in hand quilting thread, just quilting thread, but I may have missed it. I don't know the quality of this thread. It sounds suspect for hand quilting.

I've had the same problem with most quilting threads. I found the least amount of shredding, smoking, or breaking, when using the Dual Duty Hand Quilting thread purchased from Walmart. I know others have stated some negative feedback on this thread, personally I find it works the best. I'm a hand quilter - it's the only type of quilting I do.

Is this the kind of thread you're using? http://www.joann.com/madeira-aerofil...y/9643875.htmlOriginally Posted by oklahomamom2
So last month I bought some aerofil thread I have been hand quilting on it and for some reason lately it has been breaking or shredding on me while quilting. I bought it off amazon but usually buy it from hawthorn but my husband said it shouldn't make a difference. I was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else?
