On second thoughts, I better not. You might get so frustrated with me that it would ruin a great friendship. I better leave the 'amazing stuff' Margo, Ritzy, Rita, and others.

Keith OFFLINE Posts: 196	This is the heavier weight (35) - I just played around - I'm not used to working with thick thread, and working with variegated that goes from so dark to so light, but it worked well. And it's pretty. I had a 60 weight in the bobbin - I need to play with some other things in the bobbin. And I need to play with the Valdani 50 wt. - maybe this weekend.

ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	Well, as promised, Lorchen sent me some Valdani thread in two different weights and I have only tried the heavier of the two weights. It did my fancy stitches very well. I used it on Pam's mug rug. Will try the lighter weight soon.

Can one walk down one's driveway to the post? If so, that's what I did - and what a nice surprise!!! Two spools of Valdani hand-dyed variegated thread! Yea! Lorchen - you are too generous. I owe you...

What is a mailbox properly called anyway?

And what a wrapper you are, Lorchen!!! I didn't track how many layers I had to open to get to my surprise - I know one was a bright pink box, and there was a batting layer, and a fabric layer, and a cool little hand-made carrying tote, and several more layers...

I've played with the Valdani on some decorative machine stitches - it worked very nicely. Now I'm anxious to play around with it on some machine quilting.

Thank you so much, Lorchen! I'll let you know what I think.

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	I think I read on one of Marianne Haak's blogs that she loves Valdani thread for quilting. I have never used it myself but now I will have to try it.
