Great buy or hoarders syndrome?
I got 19-1lb cones of black, 31-1lb cones of white (12,000 yd per cone) 34- 1/2 lb black cones (6,000 yds) 84 cones of thread for $2.00
I have it sitting outside airing out as it all smells. I hope it works. I plan on sharing, and I don't want it to smell. |
That's a lot of thread. Did you do the tear test to make sure it's still good?
|
Why not put a rubber band around the cone to keep the thread from unwinding and throw it in the washer, or soak in soapy water and then rinse well. That should get the smell out.
|
Wow thats a lot of thread. I like using cone thread because it lasts for a long time. Right now Joann Fabrics has it for $1 a cone.
|
Madquilter..what is the tear test? Never heard of it before.
|
OMG! I assume it's serger thread?
|
Wow! I'm totally impressed!
|
I would just lightly mist with vinegar. Seems to work on most odors for me. Great haul!!!!

Take a length of thread from a spool and wrap it a couple of times around both your hands about 12 inches apart. Pull your hands apart to test the threads strength before breaking. If it breaks really easily, it could be too old to use. I would do the same test with a spool of new thread for comparison.
