## What is Aurifil?

This tool brings all the main information about Aurifil and its fabulous products on your mobile device.

This app includes a general overview on Aurifil threads, carefully divided into categories and technique, a description of all the Designers Kits developed with great names of the quilt world and, last but not least, a survey of all display options for quilt shops.

There's also a "Thread Color" section to showcase Aurifil threads and stash away your favorite thread colors.

Another section is about videos. Most of them are taped during the greatest quilt shows and events starring our designers.

The main area is the Store Locator. It's the first one listing all the quilt shops for all users of mobile devices, which enables to find the nearest store and they way to get there. With the help of Google Map, it's often possible to see the shop window and each quilter can leave a comment about the shop itself, rate it and get all contact details (phone, e-mail and website).

With regards to shop owners, to get FREE enrollment the only requirement is selling Aurifil threads! Inside the shop main page, the shop owners can also provide a short description of their business.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-06-24*

I used to use this app to help when shopping. But it no longer connects and all my data is gone.

### 3/5 — Thread list is just okay

*2021-12-26*

I love that I can have a list of the threads I have and can choose multiple weights per color. What I don’t like is that when you want to look up a thread, you have to scroll through the whole list because they’re not in numerical order. You also cannot add multiples of the same color and weight. I wish some tweaks would be made.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2021-06-18*

Since nothing works, why would I want it? Everything responds with service not available.

### 2/5 — Very basic

*2021-06-10, version 2.8*

It is useful to be able to “stash” colours and weights, but does not allow to specify the spool size, nor the quantity in one’s stash. 
Also it does not synchronise between devices, so if you have lots of spools - as one does!!! - you will have to re-enter all of them if you want to be able to access you stash from a different device or simply a new one!!!
So most definitely this app is not up to their threads’ standards. Shame.

### 3/5 — Update?

*2020-07-29*

The last update two years ago reorganized the thread by number—great! Thanks! But why oh why are you deleting the thread names when the thread is retired? Why not write “(Thread Name) - RETIRED”? I need the thread names to help with color selection. Grrr.

### 3/5 — Needs enhancements

*2019-09-27*

1. Needs a search option so you can look for a number OR a color by name - general color like “blue” would be nice also 
2. Needs preference options for ordering: by number, by color, by weight (in stash)
3. Needs a section those colors you want to buy next

### 1/5 — Obviously NOT updated!

*2016-10-11, version 2.7*

The only store listed in my region, has actually been closed at least 7 years!  Nearby cities are not listed, and none of the quilt supply or general sewing store in the region are listed.  Google is more helpful than this app.

### 2/5 — Needs more work!

*2016-04-23, version 2.7*

I have lots of Aurifil thread and would love to be able to use this app to record my thread stash BUT although Aurifil have helpfully detailed the different types of thread available you can only 'stash' the shade and not the wt. of thread. It would also be extremely useful to have some kind of note function so you could easily see when supply of a particular thread is running low ready for the next order.....

### 2/5 — Needs organization

*2015-12-03*

I so agree with other reviewers that the thread colors need to be listed by number, both in the Thread Color list and the Stashed list. There are so many colors that it takes forever to find what you're looking for, rendering the app ineffective. This could really be a useful app if it had some organization.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2015-11-28, version 2.7*

Store list is out of date. Addresses for stores are old & online stores are not listed. 
Keeping a track of the colours in my stash is a great idea, but would be better if it had actual photos showing the colours of the thread.
