I have some Aurifil and love it. King Tut will have to be good to beat
that. I also love YLI's cottons and their silk thread, and the new
Coats Cotton, Seta Reale, and Duet ( NOT to be confused with Dual Duty,
which is evil) polyester for clothing construction..

I have tried both. They both sew beautifully. So far I can say that
the Aurifil variegated (the one I have anyone) has a more 'restrained'
colour range than the King Tut. The spool almost 'reads as a solid
turquoise', though there are stretches of cream in there. and different
shades of the main colour. The Aurifil has more sheen.

Not too much difference, they are both easy on my sm, but I do lean towards
King Tut.

Aurifil is a finer thread than King Tut. Both are fantastic threads,
Sunny! You'll want to use KT when you want the thread to stand out more;
the Aurifil will give a more subtle effect.

No, I have not tried Aurafil yet, but would like to try it.
Speaking of thread, I always buy regular handquilting thread
for handquilting (mettler or gutterman is what's available here).
I do this because that's what I was told to use and I always
do what I'm told :-)
Question is, how come you can't just use machine quilting
thread to hand quilt?
