ReplyDeleteI really like Silver Moon the best. I have tried the variegated before and liked it. It was on a fall colored quilt, and the thread was tan, gold, orange, green, brown from what I can remember. Looked really nice on a tan background. ndfromsd(at)gmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteI recently bought some Fantastico variegated threads from a nationally known quilt teacher. The colors are lovely but I'm having an issue with shredding on my longarm, even with using larger needle. The only (I'm sad to say) Aurifil variegated I have is 4060, Silver Moon, that came in my Subtle Strings collection. I LOVE Aurifil thread and use it exclusively for piecing and often for quilting. Thank you for the giveaway and a chance to win. How exciting! kupton52@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI've not used variegated yet but was thinking about doing so on my next quilt. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI have only used another brand of variagated thread as our local quilt shop does not carry many spools of this brand. I have recently bought a 6pack of spoils as Aurifil does not leave as much lint in my machine. My email addy is asullivan5 at cox dot net.
