You're awesome!!!

🥰

jazzy jabberwocky is pretty great!

agree

Good morning Stitching Pink.

Hello! Delighted you are here!

DJSP, have you listened to the gladie record from this year? it has a quilt on the cover (or at least a quilt top)

I will have to check that out! Thanks Maggie!

i've been using 100wt invisafil to do needleturn applique!

In a pinch, use your phone cameras (or tablet) zoom for reading glasses

What size needle do you use for that?

thanks Amy!

The glasses kind of work - just missing one arm lol

ummm i don't know what size needle i've been using. i have 2093480548 unclassified needles around so i just use what feels good and right

haha! Me too! I keep thinking I will make one of those nifty needlebooks with labels for needle sizes but we both know that will never happen. ;)

i do have a nice needle book i got from alabama chanin/the school of making that helps you organize them, but i don't really know if my organization is correct

this one: https://www.valleyquailega.org/needle-index-book

Love your show! These old jingly tunes bring back memories. "Take the wheel of your automobile and swing on down to Ideal" Remember that one!

nice!

🎸🎸🎸🎸

A Stich in Time! 🥰

I do not follow instructions well. Would it make things easier - heck yeah.. exponentially. Through experience, trial & error, etc I know the type of needle & thread I prefer to use & how it works w/whatever I'm sewing. And prob why I gravitate toward hand sewing.

Hand sewing is very relaxing. And it's nice to really feel connected to what you are making

i use woolly nylon in my bobbin for sewing with knits. really nice for the stretchiness.

Regarding sourcing & reuse, like that you are discussing & sharing old thread for sewing in terms of reuse, etc.

Warning I mean

I don't like to discourage the use of old thread but I think it's risky!

I learned a lot about thread today. Thanks!!

ha!

i still have hundreds of skeins of needlepoint and embroidery threads from a "scholarship" i got in 2007. i should maybe redistribute some of that. probably fine since it's not for construction

I'm sure someone would appreciate the thread! Is it floss?

cotton, wool, silk, rayon, metallics, and ribbon

!!!!!

some of it is floss

a lady that graduated from my college in the 70s and was a needlepoint artist sent the fibers department five long file boxes filled with approximately $4000 in threads apiece. there were maybe 12 of us in the department so we voted for the recipients, and i got one. it's WILD.

Let's discuss...

she had organized it all into ziploc bags that were labeled by the thread fiber, mostly organized by brand or color, and printed out a corresponding spreadsheet with information and value.

Thx for the great show SP! Love the knowledge sharing - a virtual sewing circle.

of course! i could never embellish enough stuff in all the rest of my life

have a great week everyone! Stay crafty xoxo
