Wild Thymes has the most amazing pair of scissors. If you look on our Web site under Notions, you will find the big blue-handled scissors. They are comfortable to use, very sharp, and cost only $12. If I take 36 pairs to a show, I sell 36 pairs. We use these in the studio and in our production rooms. I always have a pair on my desk, next to my sewing machine and in all my project bags. They have short blades so you can cut intricate designs with them and several layers at once. They will also travel on the airlines with you.
Thread…. thread is my downfall! I LOVE thread! In my sewing box I have some of my Grandmother’s DMC thread with 5¢ printed on them. These are a treasurer for me; however, if I needed one of those colors, all bets are off and the heartfelt symptoms dry -up! I use that thread! My favorite thread that has come out in the last few years is the Valdani, Three Strand Floss®, it’s colorfast, hand-dyed, and most of it is variegated. It comes in small balls and is usually sold in a package of 12 colors. It’s not cheap at $38 per box, but I LOVE-IT! I quilted the new Block-of-the-Month Baskets with it.
The products we sell on our Web site are all items we have tested and use ourselves. We don’t sell items for the sake of the sale; if it’s on our site, we really like the product.
