Purchased the thread several years ago. Was not that impressed with it. Seemed wound on the spool loosely.

I have used ikea thread and hate it. Very limp and hard to thread into needles. I will use up what i have but will not buy more. Love their sewing shears and the new sewing kit though. Like everything else at IKEA you must pick and chose.
|
I ddon't think my Ikea carries thread but they do carry fabric. Most all of it is very large modern print, great for bags and such. Too heavy I think for pillowcases. I always look....pet and walk away, large modern isn't my forte but do think my daughters would love something made with it...someday I'll buy some.
|
good descriptions in previous posts. i've used their fabric to make a few bags and have been very satisfied.
|
Our IKea is 3 hours away but used to love their fabric so when go to California will have to check it out.

I bought some a couple of years ago to use as backings for children's quilts... have not used it yet.. it is heavier.. more like the weight of flannel. Each time I go back I look and have not seen it there any more... I have never seen threads... I got this in the kids section.. So it was kids related... It was on sale 3 meters for 5.99. So I feel like I got a great deal. One was a Christmas pattern I am sure that I will find a use for that!!!

I bought some solid blue on clearance that I thought would be good for backings on quilts for baby boys. I did have to cut it myself. It was a great price but I have not used it yet.
|
I purchased some that was perfect for backing. It had the lower thread count and I use it rather than sheets.
|
I couldn't find a chambray I was looking for but Ikea had a cotton duvet cover of the exact fabric I wanted. I cut it apart and made the quilt my little grandson loves. It came with pillow shams and I decorated them with the leftover "bugs" that we cut from his crib skirt and bumper pads. Interesting project but came out cute.

Does anyone know how Ikea compares, weight wise, to Marimekko cottons? Not price, just weight?
