All Your Quilting Friends Want Thread for Christmas!

Have I mentioned lately that all your quilting friends 

want thread for Christmas? I’ll bring it up again…




Hand Quilting Threads - use your favorites!

Hand quilting - what threads do you like?
Technically, you can hand quilt with anything. It just depends on the "look" you want for your project.
You can use a "glazed" thread that is pre-treated with a thread conditioner, or use a non-glazed thread and treat it yourself with a thread conditioner like Thread Magic.
Many quilters prefer a 40-weight cotton hand quilting thread:
YLI Select traditional hand quilting glazed thread
YLI 40-weight non-glazed thread
Aurifil 40-weight thread
Mettler 40-weight thread
King Tut 40-weight thread
Or something heavier?
Aurifil 28-weight thread
Sulky 30-weight thread
Or even heavier?
Aurifil 12-weight thread
Wonderfil's Spagetti 12-weight thread
Valdani #12 Pearl Cotton
Threadmongers has them all! Plus traditional Sashiko thread or use a 12-weight thread for your Sashiko stitching.

See all these threads plus MANY MORE at the Clark County Quilters QuiltFest Northwest October 21-23 or at the Block Party Quilters show November 12-14. Or PM me her to inquire! Yes, I mail thread orders all the time!
