They are crazy, that is way to much money for the average quilter to buy! plus we have our own very inventive quilters right here! :thumbup:
thanks for the reminder!

this concept is not new..
go to superior threads website and they explain it too

the way the thread is wound, makes a big difference with the way it it comes off, and how it sews up on your machine.
(nice looking stitches and breakage,although i think breakage has more to do with the wrong needle, eye and tension)

Does anyone here use thier rotary cutter? i saw it demonstrated at a sewing expo, and i was impressed. but a friend has one, and i tried it and could not get used to my hand being off to the side, instead of on top of the cutter..

cutter--I love the cutter and can cut all day without my wrist being sore. It does take a learning curve, I think the secret is the way you hold the cutter. Pointer finger is along the top and as you cut, that finger should be centered on the ruler. As I say it does take a learning curve, but once you have it, no more wrist strain.

Don't most sewing machines come with a straight up spool holder or a side one. I know mine do. Just a little pricey.

I have been using the metallic thread this week. I use a metallic needle, loose the top tension to -2 and the thread comes off the spool horizontal. Coats and clark and also medira thread. Ver very little breakage. I also use a 350 stitch a min. If you use a faster stitch a min. it will break quicker. So slow down on the stitching speed and use your money for fabric.
