Doing trapunto work and I ran out of water soluble thread!! The one thread where nothing else can substitute!

There are a few stores open today ... NONE of them carry water soluble. Including Joanne's - I called two within a 40 mile radius of me. Nada.

ARGH!!!!!

oh my, you will have to put that project aside and work on something else. sorry.

Yep, it seems like just when your rolling along well, a roadblock. I find it hard to get back into my groove after the wait. Bummer. :-(

:x Don't that just git y'r britches in a bunch?!

Next time, buy 2 spools. when you are using the second one, buy 2 more. That way you wont run out again.

Oh not you too. I had the same thing happen to me today. I had to go to Joanne's to get more. They didnt have the color that I needed. Got the next closest color they had. Lucky for me it is for piecing.

I can't find that thread anywhere around my area. I order it from Superior Threads. The delivery is fast and shipping is only $3 per order.

Don't you hate it when that happens!

Stupid question: Why would you use water soluable thread for trapunto? Wouldn't you want the thread to be permanent? I've never tried trapunto before so I seriously think I'm probably missing something here. :oops:

Bummer....don't you just hate that!!
