DMC has gone into bankruptcy

Just announced today -- DMC (including all of their floss lines) has
gone into bankruptcy. I imagine a run on most of the needlework
stores just to stock up. Anyone heard anything yet?

I couldn't find anything definitive, but if it's true, it wouldn't be the
first time and they emerged from it okay. Let's hope that will happen
again.

I do hope they can survive this and emerge victorious.

Let's get after them to dump all their clothing and other holdings and
leave our needlework stuff alone. Do you think they would listen to us????
lol

Parlez vous francais, ma petite choux??

Probably the only way they would listen. Hopefully they can restructure;
I think this happened before. The dyeing plant in the USA was closed
down a couple of years back.

Not enough to write anything more complicated then your sentence, but Sheena
speaks French fluently, doesn't she?

I did see something about them having filed for bankruptcy in the 90's and
emerging in 1997.


Funny timing. I just filled in all my missing colors when I recently set up
the bobbin storage. Up until then I was missing a few of the colors that I
don't much like and avoid using.

It looked fine to me !!! Possibly that's because I took Spanish in High
School and learned my 5 words of French in books. :*))

What clothing line? I know they had pillows, bags and various items for
embroidery (their Linea line) which I loved but didn't catch on here in
America. Stencils, wonderful color combinations, easy pearl cotton
which works up quickly . . . all a beginner would want and be avante
garde. It went very well in Europe.

It doesn't help that predator chain stores refuse to stock their floss
and the Linea line. I tried finding the latter in stores and it was
sparse pickings. No wonder it didn't catch on. It wasn't given a
proper chance.
