This listing is for one cone in the colour you select. It is not a set of all 12 colours. Madeira identifies the multicolour version as article 9131B; each cone contains 2750m (approximately 3000yd).
Built for quilting without losing a soft visual finish
AeroQuilt is engineered for strength and smooth running, yet its finish avoids the high shine associated with many polyester threads. The result is a practical quilting thread that can make colour the feature without overpowering the fabric.
Less lint
Its premium core-spun polyester construction produces less lint than cotton thread, helping keep the stitching area cleaner.
Variegated movement
Changing tones create natural variation along the stitch line, adding interest to free-motion, edge-to-edge and decorative work.
For longarm quilting, domestic machines and more
Longarm and machine quilting
Use the colour changes to add depth across edge-to-edge patterns, custom motifs, borders and feature areas.
Free-motion quilting
Let the shifting tones animate curves, feathers, pebbles, stippling and thread-painted details.
Decorative sewing
AeroQuilt can also be used in standard sewing machines for decorative topstitching and all-purpose sewing where No. 40 thread suits the project.
Overlock accents
Madeira also lists AeroQuilt as suitable for overlock machines, making variegated colour useful in visible decorative seams and finishes.
Always test the complete stitch setup. Fabric, batting, needle, bobbin thread, tension and speed all affect the final result. Sew a representative sample before starting the quilt.

Screen colour is a guide only. Displays and lighting can change how thread appears. Match by the Madeira colour number and, when precision matters, compare with a physical thread sample or colour card.
Prepare the machine for a smooth first test
Fit the cone correctly
Use the appropriate vertical cone stand or external thread stand so the large Kingcone can feed smoothly.
Install an NM 80 needle
Madeira recommends a quilting needle in size NM 80, including its article 9454T quilting needle.
Choose the bobbin thread
Select a bobbin thread and colour that suit the quilt back, machine and desired balance.
Test, then adjust
Stitch through the same fabric and batting layers, checking tension on both sides before quilting the project.
Protect the cone and confirm the finished result
Store clean and dry
Keep the cone covered and away from dust, direct sunlight, heat and damp conditions between projects.
Follow the project fabric
Launder the finished item according to the care requirements of its most delicate fabric, batting and embellishment.
Wash a sample first
When appearance after laundering matters, test the actual thread, fabric and batting combination before completing the quilt.

Madeira AeroQuilt Multicolor FAQs
Is this listing for one cone or a set of 12?
It is for one 2750m cone in the colour you select. The 12 colour names are separate options, not the contents of one pack.
Is AeroQuilt polyester or cotton?
AeroQuilt is 100% premium core-spun polyester. Madeira gives it a cotton-like finish, combining a softer visual appearance with polyester strength.
What weight is AeroQuilt?
It is a No. 40 thread with the metric construction dtex 135 × 2.
Can I use it on a domestic sewing machine?
Yes. Madeira states that AeroQuilt can be used in standard sewing machines for all-purpose sewing and quilting. Because this is a large cone, check whether your machine needs an external thread stand.
Is it suitable for a longarm quilting machine?
Yes. Madeira specifically developed AeroQuilt as an extremely strong quilting thread for longarm machines.
Which needle should I use?
Madeira recommends a quilting needle in size NM 80, such as Madeira article 9454T. Always confirm the needle suits the fabric layers and your machine.
Will the colour match what I see on screen?
Screen colour is only an indication because device settings and lighting vary. Use the four-digit Madeira colour number as the reliable identifier.
Why choose variegated thread?
Variegated thread changes tone as you sew, bringing movement, blended colour and decorative interest to quilting motifs without changing cones.
