Sulky Programs for Guilds
"THREAD JAZZ FOR QUILTING AND EMBELLISHING
Needle and Thread Know-How"
Learn how easy and fun it is to use all of those glamorous Sulky Decorative Threads that you see on award winning quilts. YOUR quilts, wallhangings and wearable art can all be just as dazzling and exciting as the "experts"!
A highly skilled, well trained Sulky Freelance National Educator will present to your guild members either a 1 to 1-1/2 hour Lecture, a 3-1/2 to 4 hour Sit 'n Sew Class, or a combination of both. Packed full of hints, tips, and breathtaking samples, these events will inspire each and every member to "quilt outside the box".
Included in the presentation along with samples
- Brief Sulky History - how it all began!
- "Needle Know-How" - why is the needle so important?
- Stabilizers - which to use in quilting?
- Metallic Thread Magic - tips and hints for success:
- Sulky Original Metallic Threads - 36 luscious colors
- Sulky Holoshimmer Metallic Threads - 24 dazzling colors
- Sulky Sliver Metallic Threads - 24 brilliantly reflective colors
- Other exciting thread options:
- Sulky Rayons - slick but "sew" satisfying
- 30 and 40 wt. - which and why?
- Sulky Poly Deco - when to use polyester thread
- Sulky 12 wt. and 30 wt. solid color Cottons
- Sulky 12 wt. and 30 wt. Cotton Blendables
- Learn about bobbin thread - when and where to use
- Sulky Polyester Invisible Thread - great with metallics
Sulky will provide handouts on
Stabilizers, Threads, Needles and more
If you decide to offer the Sit 'n Sew option to your members and guests, plan on 3-1/2 to 4 hours for this event. Up to 25 people with their own machines may sew, facilities permitting.
The Sulky Freelance National Educator will demonstrate and teach various free-motion techniques using all the threads provided in the kit. Also included will be hand-work options and Sulky Solvy-turned appliqué.
