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! 

Threadmongers schedule for Feb. - June 2020!

Let's get ready to THIMBLE!!

Ok, we have been cooped up in the SNOW and RAIN for a couple of months (since the Block Party Quilters show in November) and we have been quilting but it's time for some quilt shows!!

Here are the great Pacific Northwest quilt shows where Threadmongers will be a vendor through June - the schedule for the rest of the year I'll post later. 

Get out your 2020 calendar and get these on it!
