sounds like you need Pearle Cotton thread- I have it in many color in size 8 & 12 (I have some 3 & 5 but those are pretty thick) many companies carry it- our local joannes carries some colors. just search embroidery threads. Evening Star Designs, Primitive Gatherings and Sue Spargo all carry it too.

Oh wow! I have never seen anything like that before. I have made puffy quilts and wonder if it's the same idea? How are the triangles sewn together? I assume they are whip stitched together. I like it!

You can use perle cotton size 12. DMC has it in 40 colors, and Joann's has a sale on it right now for 30% off--now $1.95 for a ball of 131 yards (sale is good for only a couple more days--and you might have to order it online). Carolyn

I made one of those many years ago...I stuffed them with old panty hose!! In those days, hose ran every time you turned around so I had a good supply. I whipped stitched the triangles together with double thread. I don't have it anymore....I wonder if it is still "out there" somewhere...
