"Excuse Me!" ...............
.................... or "Thread Follies".
My wife was sewing some handles for her shopping bags she's making yesterday on her Bernina 930 using burgundy Coats & Clark's machine quilting thread when I hear her exclaim: "Excuse Me!". I came over to see what was up and she showed me this: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/Excuseme.jpg Right in the middle of the spool of thread was a splice. I got a laugh out of it, but my wife didn't appreciate it. She had to re-thread the machine and then restart. She was .... um annoyed. Joe |
wow. Even my cheap cheap thread I've never come across that before!
|
That is most frustrating! Luckily I haven't seen it either, but not totally surprised by it. Is she going to write to the manufacturer?
|
can you write in chinese ??

親愛的大衣和Clarks,線程吮吸像胡佛。
é How's that? Joe |
I'm not surprise, actually. Coats and Clark has gone waaaaay down in quality and reputation over the years:< I won't use it.
|
The last time I sewed with Coats and Clark on my '70s Bernina Record 830, it made a mess. In other words, my vintage Bernina did not like it at all! I won't buy it anymore. Mine was purchased at JoAnn's and it said made in Mexico.

wow...that is crazy...I have heard that C&C and the connecting threads thread is really bad about splicing, but have not seen it before!

And, I've seen splices in it before. Will never buy it again. I now use the many spools I have left for basting quilt sandwiches, and zig-zagging raw edges of new fabric when I'm preparing to wash it. |
Had it happen to me also. I've also seen fabric sewn together in the middle of the bolt.
