Lecture/Demo
THIS IS ONE CLASS YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!!!!
This is a FUN lecture on all the things you didn't know you needed to know about thread!
As an educator for WonderFil Specialty Threads, Nina has learned a lot and she wants to share!
Thread is like candy! Sometimes you just can't get enough...LOL!
When we purchase thread it's usually the color we buy, or the thread the shop carries. In this lecture you'll learn about the different wieghts of thread and why they make a difference. Ply, why is that important? Specialty threads like metallic, monofilament, tinsel threads, how do we work with them? Why do metallics give us issues? This lecture is FULL of information you'll be thrilled you know now!
The DEMO part of this class is while we're talking about a thread we sometimes have difficulty with...Nina will thread her sewing machine with THAT thread and talk you through some tips while she quilts with that thread. She will demo 12wt thread, Trilobal Polyester thread, Metallic thread, Monofilament thread, and any other thread you'd like to have her demo for you.
Please bring your notebook and pen to take notes, your questions to ask and Nina will answer them for you, and be prepared to walk away with a new found knowledge of thread!
See you there!
