Cleaning out the threads

Last Tuesday, I told you about learning that I had been threading my Sit-Down Longarm WRONG for a long time!!

While I was thinking about thread, I decided it was time to clean some of my “iffy” threads.

These are some threads that I purchased when we were in China….

I loved the colors and weights of the threads, but after 10+ years, I hadn’t tried using them yet!!

IT WAS TIME……

I loaded up three different threads, and each one of them broke within 2 minutes of quilting.

NOT A GOOD SIGN!!

I knew when I bought them, that they were of “iffy” quality, so it is time to get them out of my studio!!

NOTE TO SELF….don’t buy unknown threads!!


Do you need to have a thread clean-out day?
