Aurifil Threads

Below is a great post on Aurifil threads. There are many on the internet but this sums it up simply. 
I have been piecing my latest quilt with Aurifil 50 and must acknowledge just how much less lint there is in and around the needle area. I will use the 40 weight for quilting it. I'm still unpacking the concept of using a different bobbin thread for quilting - they make bobbin thread in 60 weight - but am not convinced yet as I like the same colour top and bottom.
