Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of attending the Thread Bar Workshop by Anita from Cotton Mill Threadworks. We had all heard wonderful things about this workshop and I have to say it was all true.
There was a bit of prep work for this workshop. We all created 12 - 8 1/2" x11 quilt sandwiches. One for every thread we were to try out.
Anita went over several tips and tricks and perceived myths about thread and quilting in general. She then proceeded to discuss each thread. Once a couple of threads were presented we had an opportunity to test drive each thread with our own machine and also try out some of those fancy stitch settings that we don't always use in our projects.
Our delicious lunch was generously donated by our member Debbie.
Our member Kristyn kept everything together behind the scenes.
It was a great time had by all. If you ever get an opportunity to take this workshop, please do. This would benefit not only quilters, but any sewists.
Thanks to all who made this workshop such a great success!
If you are interested in purchasing any of the threads presented, you can find them here.
