Well, I've finally got my fabric obsession somewhat under control. Now I find myself looking at thread. I have lots of colors from Connecting Threads. Recently I got a variegated set from Threadart who were kind enough to put me on their email list. OK, I admit I volunteered for that. Now I find myself drooling over all the thread sets each time I get the newsletter. [sigh] Guess there's no hope for a junky.

I too love looking at thread sets - guess it's the pretty colors that attract me.

Oh dear! I was afraid that might happen...it did when I was a cross-stitcher...so far only fabric is calling my name with quilting. Wonder how long that will last???

I always liked thread even before I started quilting I had an assortment of colors.

I already started that. I ordered several sets from Connecting Threads, but ofcourse it isn't every color in the rainbow. Almost! If anyone would have told me that I would spend that much money on thread at any one time, I would have told them they are out of their ever-lovin mind. Actually, I think I was. LOL

Stocked up on connecting threads, (thread) told DH the board made me do it!

Okay I have to stop hanging out here...this stuff is contagious...Yikes!

This board is terrible for the addicted!!
Since I joined I've bought fabrics I never used to like, old Singers (4) and tons of other things I "had to have" lol :D:D

That must be it - "I'm out of my ever-lovin mind."

Yup. When you hang with junkies there's a good chance you'll become an addict.

I have been sewing 50 years. I started "collecting" thread when I got my embroidery machine 10 years ago. Never really learned to use it to it's limit. About 2 years ago my sister got a brother machine from Walmart and I found that machine easier to understand. Suddenly I needed more thread and E-bay was my new best friend. I have had to stop my self from buying more thread sets. Problem now is that I have a quilting machine and quilting uses a lot of thread and most of my spools are 1100 yards or less. I am now watching the 5000 yard spool sets.

At least your thread addiction is just to the cheaper thread at CT...I am addicted to Aurifil! Even though I can buy it wholesale..holy cow....

I know what you mean. I never dreamed I would have this much thread.....and fabric.....and sewing machines. I'm hooked.

lol, I've got my thread list started!!! I want variegated thread for the quilting machine. I'm holding off for now, but can't wait to make my order.

That's why I'm staying away from embroidery. Seriously, with the fabric and the SMAD, I've got to say no to something! I used to cross-stitch, and I've got $$$ worth of patterns, floss, and linen I'll never use.

Same here with my knitting. I need to go through that stash and thin it out.

i am so addicted, between quilting and embroidery i must have 1000 spools. every size from free samplers to 5000 yd spools. at least it doesn't take up as much space as my fabric stash.
