HI..Glad you got the correct web address up there..This Metro thread never gets mentioned, and I too just love the colors...The thread is just as strong as the rest, but way less expensive..They have a special going on the varigated at .69, I think it was...I'm going to use it for the decorative stitches on this new machine I just bought on HSN.. YOu gave me that idea , when you said you used on the LA...

COOL! Be sure to post a pic when you have it done (and send me a link - I'm going to be out of town for most of the next month and might miss it!!)

Thanks for your interest, but I don't have the machine yet..the thing has 320 deco stitches on it...So I'll be busy checking them all out, before I use them for a bag or something like that...I have a message on another thread about buying it yesterday.....Where will you going for an entire month?
That is truly a wonderful quilt on your blog..... berni

I'm headed out Monday for Colorado to see my son and his family -- haven't seen them in 1 1/2 yrs. I'm so excited. Then 4 days after I get back, I'm headed to a quilting retreat. It'll be sewing/sitting/reading -- whatever we want to do --- i'll probably sleep!

Thank you so much. I checked out the Metro site and felt like I won the lottery!! I was about to order sulky from Joann's so glad I waited. You ladies have taught me so much. Bless each of you. Amandasgramma Have a very safe and enjoyable trip.

I like metro and marathon. I use poly as I was embroidering lots of items that would get washed a lot. They both have a nice sheen and I think are very affordable.
