fusible thread, I have had some for 10 years and it's still good.
Isacord is usually embroidery thread.
Usually the top of the thread will tell what type it is. Also, watch out for thread that said Quilting. It may be for hand quilting only.
Sounds like got a deal. .
I was just thinking about what I was going to do with the Sulky and Isacord thread. I don't have too many spools but I also don't do machine embroidery. I'll figure out something.
Good to know about the elastic thread. Dumb question but, if it doesn't last much longer than around 2 years, why even sew with it to begin with? Seriously, whatever it was used on wouldn't be good for very long.
