I
want to make four of each color in each size.
There will be more colors as I pull them out, too, but I will probably
use the white background on all of them so the colors pop out. At this point, I have no idea what I will do
with them, but I really like them.
The
ones I made last night I used the expensive Italian thread to put
together. I had nothing but trouble with
that thread- no matter how I try to adjust the tension or switch needles, the
stitching I get with it looks terrible. My machine just doesn’t like it. (just like me, my machine requires only the
simple, CHEAP things in life!) I change
to a spool of the Essentials, and the stitching is showroom perfect! (And no, I am not paid to say that!) I know there are lots of people out there
that love the Italian stuff – I will probably try to sell it on Etsy or ebay –
I have used very little of it, so it would be a deal for someone and maybe I
could recoup some of my loss. This is
what it looks like –
The
label says:
Aurifil
Made
in Italy
Mako
NE 50/2
GR
140 MT 5.900
100%
Cotton
2LI
2315
I
will post it on one of those sites next week, unless someone who reads this
would like to buy it for $25 which will include shipping. I paid $30 plus shipping for it. This was a 6,452 yard spool - believe me, I
have used far less than $5 plus shipping worth of thread off of the spool – I half-filled
the bobbin once for my two attempts to try it, and there is still at least 1/3
of what I put on the bobbin left, and I will include the bobbin. I had hoped to be able to wind it off onto
smaller spools, but that isn’t going to happen now. Here is a link to a site that sells it for
$30 a spool, and you can see the color more clearly – it is a great neutral
color: Cone of thread
If
anyone is interested in purchasing it, please just email me at:
siamesecatqueen
at gmail dot com
(leave
out the spaces and change the at and dot to symbols – I’m trying to avoid the
bots and their spam!)
I
can accept Paypal (not at the above email address), but if no one wants it by
next Monday, I will be listing it for sale on Etsy or ebay.
Okay,
I have a paper to write for my class – no geese tonight. L Later!
