That's good info on using metallic thread. I sometimes forget to slow down my sewing when using it. One thread break is all it takes to remind me! :)Beth @ Cooking Up Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786023962755107152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-65725035206858073912016-12-31T13:00:34.401-05:002016-12-31T13:00:34.401-05:00I love the pillow, too.

Once I forgot my thread guide while on vacation in the camper. I rigged up a huge safety pin (why was that in the camper) on the curtain valance and stood the spool up on a pencil that was clothes-pinned to a small pillow. All that took a while, and my husband laughed, but it worked and that's all that mattered. I'll have to remember your scissors contraption should I ever find myself without a spool holder. Haha What won't we come up with to quilt?Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-60898865382943316992016-12-31T12:49:39.915-05:002016-12-31T12:49:39.915-05:00Puppy power!

Thanks also for the tip re the metallic needles. I bought a book last year from a quilt show which explained how important it is to have the right needles etc and I have tried to be a 'good girl' by using the right needles, changing it regularly etc. This year. And it has made a difference 😀 hugs to you from your friend across the water xxxSuegodfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621589265097651906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-4643769118385076222016-12-30T22:05:01.401-05:002016-12-30T22:05:01.401-05:00What a fab way to end the year.
