I ordered some thread last week because it had been a while and I was running low on several of my favorites.
Just a few days later and here they are!
The spools with orange labels are the 12 wt. threads and the spools with the brown labels are the 30 wt. threads.
I put my favorite at the top.
It’s my most-used, Sulky 12 wt. Black! It’s what makes my applique “pop!” I didn’t know my applique didn’t pop until a couple of Sulky reps wandered by my booth one year at market and introduced me to their threads. They knew my applique didn’t “pop”, but they didn’t tell me that, they just said, “Oh you do a lot of applique. Would you like to try our 12 wt. thread?”
Little did I know that thread would totally change the look of my applique!
I took that thread home with me and eventually tested it on my next applique project.
Oh, my goodness!
It’s like taking a big black crayon and outlining my applique shapes.
I guess I’m still a kindergartener at heart!
Notice how I just showed you what I’ve been working on without showing you what I’m working on?
I guess you’ll just have to stay tuned.
Until next time,
