| These threads are in my side table in the TV room, most of which are for hand quilting. |
I have a rack of threads where only a few of the stickers identifying the thread type remain. Also, once gone is there a way to identify the now nameless thread? Sewmamasew recently posted on the types of thread and created a nice graphic. Explore here to learn of the variety of threads and uses.
I have learned that my main sewing machine, Janome 6500, prefers the less expensive threads threaded to the needle. The more expensive threads seem to create a situation of jamming requiring a complete rethreading on top and in the bobbin. It seems to work better with Coats and Clark thread as well as Guttermann. Now I have a collection multicolored spools with missing ID tags. After searching, Coats and Clark offer this info for figuring the thread types.
Also, Superior Threads has an App at least for Apple products available at their store with a very involved chart on threads for all sorts of purposes.
The rest of my thread storages and lost tags....
These stands were my attempt to organize last year....oh, there's another storage place where I have been kept my hand quilting threads.....but occasionally I may have needed a color and then....oh my!
I have blue spools, green and white as well as yellow spools, most with lost identifiers. The Aurafil I recognize, orange, but I can only use these threads in my bobbin.
Last year my quilting resolution was to work down my stash, which I think I did a decent job of doing - and kind of bough less. This year I'll work on my threads and continue to make use of my stash.....another day....
How's your thread storage doing....
If you're looking for BOM, block of the month, without leaving home, Pat Sloan has Vacation Time, and it's free! I've at least printed January's instructions - working that stash down.....keep smiling
