Sulky 12 wt. cotton thread on sale

www.sewingwarehouse.com has a 550 yd. spool of Sulky Blendables 12 wt.
thread for only $3.69 a spool. I ordered 20 spools and the shipping is only
$4.00. The next cheapest price I found was $5.19 per spool, so if you love
this heavy weight machine thread for buttonhole or satin stitching like I
do... well, stock up! (This is the thread I used some time ago and the
small buttonhole stitch looked like braid applied to the edge of the
appliqué- a really cool look!)

HI Lisa! Long time...... I just looked at your picture albums. You're
still doing fabulous work. Love the needle felting projects.

I used Sulky blendables 30wt to FMQ on my last two projects; a table
runner and a lap quilt. I love the stuff; have not used 12wt, though.

I just followed the link and there is no mention of Sulkey thread on
the site. I wonder if it was a closeout sale and now it's all gone?
Either that or I'm being totally incompetent again in searching.

Hi KJ,
Yes, been awhile hasn't it? Been busy. Taught crazy quilting for the Omaha
Guild, then went to the Crazy Quilt Conference over there 2 weeks later and
helped my friend Martha Green with 2 of her classes. You can see pics from
our time there at my friend Karen's blog, even a picture of my Paris Box.

showing me all the cool stuff it can do at the retreat. I just hope I'm
smart enough to figure out how to use all the things it does. I have my
doubts at the moment.

Anyway, it's nice to hear from you, and thank you for the complement. I do
love the needle felting machine. Once I get my room put back together from
all the flooding I had, I hope to get back to that and all the other
numerous projects I have going!

It works GREAT in the sewing machine- but you have to use a size 16 or 18
needle. I have used both 50 wt. cotton in the bobbin and (poly) bobbin
thread with it and both work fine. I want to use the 12 wt. thread for a
whole cloth type of quilt- a very small one, since that's not my thing- but
I want to see how it looks.

Okay- I did a quick practice piece on some scraps. Top and bottom fabric
are very tightly woven 100% cotton fabric and the batting is Warm & White-
all are pre-washed. I used a 16 topstitch needle and the top 12 wt. thread
broke within a few stitches, so I changed to a size 18 needle. It worked
great. I didn't have any bobbin prewound with a thinner thread, so the
bobbin is a 40 wt. cotton thread. I loosened the top tension one whole
number- big mistake! I have loopies on the back, and this could have
contributed to the little blurbs of thread on the back when I changed
direction. There is also a pic of the buttonhole stitch that looks almost
like a narrow braid on the edge of the appliqué. (And I did NOT do any
warm-up quilting, so it's not very even.... I *can* do better! LOL)

Yes, I have too and I just loved it. I was hoping someone could say how
the
12wt works in a machine before I invest in some. I guess if it doesn't
work,
I could always try it for hand embroidery or tatting.

You could always use it for bobbin work if it doesn't work well in the
needle.

Your box is gorgeous! I love to look at CQ, but have no desire to try it
.....right now. Always subject to change.
I have no doubt you'll be able to make your machine do wonderful tricks for
you. Have fun with it.
