These smaller 50 yd. snap-end spools of 80 dynamic colors of premium quality Sulky 12 wt. Long Staple, Egyptian Cotton Thread were especially created for the myriad of you who love Hand Embroidery, Quilting, and Applique, as well as numerous other Hand Crafts such as:
Cross Stitch, Crazy Patchwork, Couching, Hand Sashiko, Blanket Stitch,
Needlepunch, Candlewicking, Smocking, Heirloom Sewing, Redwork, and also Bobbin Work.
Since one strand of Sulky 12 wt. Cotton Thread is equivalent to two strands of typical floss, the huge benefits are:

There is no tangling;
You can cut any length you want; and
Storage is tidy with no loss of color identity.
You will also love the fact that this smaller 50 yd. Sulky Petite spool has a suggested retail

on a 330 yd. spool. See colors.

New Sulky Book
"Fun with Sulky Blendables and Solid Color Cotton Threads" (#900-B21)
Once again, Joyce has compiled the most amazing array of projects for her latest book. Many well known designers have again contributed some truly beautiful projects to this book. With the focus on Sulky Cotton Blendables and Sulky Solid Color Cottons which are exclusively sold to independent stores, this 104-page, full-color book is jam-packed full of ideas and techniques that will excite and motivate you. AND… now there are a total of 126 magnificent Blendables in both 12 wt. and 30 wt.!
Here are some of the amazing projects in this new book which are virtually all done with Blendables and Solid Color Cottons, along with a few other Sulky Threads for accents:
(Click here to see more projects from the book with photos.)
Pumpkin Market Tote by Carol Ingram - featuring Paper Piecing on Paper Solvy, 3-D Padded Leaves, and many other fun techniques.
Team Quilt by Bev Morris of Abigayles Quiltery in Olmsted Falls, OH.
This is her favorite fund-raising quilt which is perfect for all those "teams" and charity events in everyone's life! You will love her personalizing techniques and beautiful quilting with Sulky 30 wt. Cotton Blendables.
The Perfect Cover Up by Eric Drexler, National Sulky Educator - an easy and fun vase cover that stretches and fits over a bud vase. Another wonderful, fearless way to teach free-motion. Eric always makes it "sew easy".
And then, to really knock your socks off, Sulky Designer, Evelyn Byler has made the most magnificent shawl on her long-arm machine. Evelyn has done some amazing thread work over the years, but this is by far the most beautiful. It can be done on a home sewing machine too (just not as quickly), but oh my… it is luscious! You will fall in love with Blendables all over again!
And wait! Still another incredible project from Evelyn! A wonderful variety of 3-D leaves totally made with Blendables and other Sulky Threads in an array of colors and sizes, mounted on a cabinet door (really!), with cup hooks added underneath to make the most beautiful key holder you will ever see.
Nancy Sapin, National Educator for Sulky, and famous for her corded projects, has designed a really durable and beautiful Shoulder Bag that uses her special corded technique and gorgeous batik fabrics. Featuring the Blendables and Sulky Fuse 'n Stitch, this is the next step in corded projects.
SERGER PROJECTS, GALORE! HAND PROJECTS! PUNCH NEEDLE!
FASHION AND EVEN KNITTING! PROJECTS FOR TEENS!
7 BONUS PROJECTS AND A GALLERY ON THE CD INCLUDED!
AND AMAZING THREAD ART:
Pine Scrub at Cathedral Rock by fiber artist Chris Eichner, will take your breath away. If you like landscapes, this one is "to die for"! Chris makes it easy and fun using Sulky Super Solvy, NEW Soft 'n Sheer Extra, and Fabri-Solvy along with at least 7 Blendables and numerous 40 wt. Rayons, Holoshimmer and more. WOW! The fabrics are so pretty, and the threadwork is so very dimensional.
Artist and Designer, Linda Visnaw, created a wonderful Tsukineko Ink placemat and napkin project that is simple and elegant; but wait until you see how it comes alive when it is free-motion embroidered with Sulky Blendables. This one is for your artsy people; and even for those who think they aren't, this is such a fun project. Linda taught this at the seminar training event for our National Educators, and all of us caught the fever! Extensive "painting" instructions are on the CD and video links, too!
