Just one more week to get your threads from Busy Quilting
Last day for orders of Glide Thread and HabandDash products from Busy Quilting will be Thursday 28th April
MAKE It Quilted has purchased the Thread Side of Busy Quilting business.
APQS Spare parts and machines will still be available from Busy Quilting, as will longarm machine quilting services when we are not travelling.
Thankyou to all our customers over the last ten years of Glide Thread trading in Australia.
I am fortunate to have a room that receives late afternoon sunlight through the windows. They do however make unusual colours of quilts. The back of this quilt is White Magna Glide Classics 1900+ metre of it.
There are those shadows playing colours again. 9 different colours of Glide #40 and two of Glide 60wt used for the quilting.
I have Daylight lighting in my studio, plus 3 metres of windows on a northern wall. When you use your longarm table to sew on a hanging sleeve and for 3 random designs on the back the sleeve matched the facing.
Glide 60wt thread is a finer Glide Thread without as much sheen as 40 wt thread. It is still a filament polyester thread, lint-free, giving great definition to small designs and tiny fills when quilting. It is also the same thread that is on the Magna Glide Classics pre-wound bobbins. These M class bobbins hold 203m of thread. I put my partially used ones in my sewing kits as they are excellent for applique, hand piecing and EPP. The small size and the magnetic core come in handy.
The shop has both Magna Glide Delight bobbin in 40 wt Glide Thread and Magna Glide Classic bobbins in 60 wt thread available.
The M size are larger but in the Delight Jars there is a total of 1210m of thread on 10 bobbins. The L size Jar has 20 bobbins with a total of 1320m. You can use L size in your M bobbin case!
The Magna Glide Classics are available in Boxes of 72 for the colours or 100 for the Black and White.
I also break down the boxes into Budget Packs of 24 bobbins in the non neutral colours. As the Classics are a 60wt thread an M size Budget pack contains 4872m of thread. The L size Budget pack contains 2880 metres of thread.
Just a little play with numbers after restocking the shop this morning!
