I love this thread so much! Reminds me of the fill a flat rate box swaps but you don’t have to receive back!!! UGH I need time to go through and purge
On the other hand if anyone comes across DMC e1010 I would be highly interested. I have never been able to find it and it can only be bought in a set on the dmc site which has been out of stock FOREVER!!!
oooo thank you!!! Need to get my highlighter pink on!
They had glow in the dark as well…OMG I need an intervetion!
I hesitated posting that site because we are trying to reduce our stashes…I ended up buying some cotton yarn after I just shipped off a bunch to someone! In my defense, I just needed new colors…is that an excuse heard many times? I might need an intervention as well…sheesh…
I’m confused… that thread is for embroidery, right? But it’s 100% polyester? I know I have ironed embroidery floss, I thought it was all 100% cotton! Ok, maybe not the metalics & gitd but the regular stuff?
Some of the embroidery thread now, especially the ones with metallic threads, can’t be ironed with high heat…I also have some rayon threads that caution against this. It is a pain to work with…but the highlights and effects are nice.
I have a couple other of the light effects and can iron them. I do a lower setting
I have tried working with Light Effects many times but I tend to give up in the middle of the project. It’s a pain to work with, but it looks beautiful. I have the glow in the dark thread as well, that one’s amazing.
I have purchased so many metallics and specialty threads…it takes a lot of patience and I just don’t have it. I admire people who can use this thread to make special pieces.
I haven’t worked with the glow in the dark thread yet…good to know it is amazing!
I use thread conditioner to help, slicks them together so you get a few more stitched before the dreaded tangle ball of doom!
What thread conditioner do you use?
I used to use Thread Magic (I think it is called), but recently read that the silicon based thread conditioners can cause the thread to deteriorate sooner than using no thread conditioner or using beeswax which has no harmful effects.
that sounds like such fun!
and in an effort to consolidate posts,
@Reinikka, I rec’d a wonderful pkg with fantastic cards & stickers from you!
Thanks SO much!!
Its beeswax I don’t know the brand I bought it at a fiber show a few years ago its in a small container with a slit you run the thread through. I only find it beneficial on metallic and light effects I don’t use it for most of the thread thus its lasted a really long time!
I have used beeswax in the past…I still have the biggest chunk ever that I bought at an art festival!
I cheat and use glitter glue pens if I want some bling on my stitching…I just can’t deal with the thread bomb!
oooh, snake stamp! 
Chinese NY stamps! I’ll have to see if there are more at the post office 
Thanks friends!
