HAPPY CANADA DAY to all our janomelife viewers in Canada!
We celebrate with another look at Tamara Kate’s (Janome Canada Artisan and spokesperson) stunning maple leaf paper foundation pieced and Janome Acufeed Flex/ walking foot quilted wall hanging – part of our Canada 150 celebrations last year.
Wonderfil Threads are a Canadian company based in Calgary
We recently attended Quilt Canada 2018 in Vancouver. Janome was one of the major sponsors of the show. Please see this recent post. Wonderfil Threads were also a sponsor of the show. They handed out cute little bags of thread at the one evening lecture I attended. Each baggie has 6 different types of Wonderfil thread so is an ideal opportunity to try out these threads if you have not used them before.
I was lucky enough to be given a couple of extra baggies of this thread above but I decided I would rather share this with our Janomelife viewers. SO ………. little gift baggies of Wonderfil thread are up for grabs to 3 lucky people: Want a chance to win? Please enter your name and one sentence telling us your best sewing tip about thread in the comment box below.

When sewing out an embroidery, line up the thread colors in the order sewn so if you want to repeat the design (in case it screws up) you can do that easily, or change up a color that you didn’t like….

I like to use a thread stand so the thread comes off the spool in the correct direction.

Put two or three little dots of oil on your spool of thread before you start sewing. Makes the thread glide easier through the machine.

Hi
Not sure we would recommend oil. Sewer’s Aid would be better which is a silicone rather than an oil. But perhaps that is what you meant?

Threads are so important in the finishing of a garment or quilt. These threads are just so happy in my Janome 7700. I do miss the Wood Spools though!

It is not worth the effort of sewing an item if you use cheap thread. Good thread may cost more but it is worth in the end.

Because I have difficulty always telling the difference between black and dark blue thread, I now mark the spools/cones “B” for black and “N” for blue/navy.

It’s always important mtach your needle to the type of thread you are using – this can make a huge difference in success when using specialty threads! Love Wonderfil threads in my Janome 9400 and 500e!
