Don't you just love when you find something like that?! Send some pictures!

I love quilting with varigated threads and they're addicting when you see the results. :thumbup:

I haven't tried it yet but as I make a LOT of country style items, I think it would be marvelous... esp on the crazy quilts

Hope you can see this. If not Google images "variegated thread".
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I know the thread, I just haven't seen any quilts done with it. Once again, any pics?lol

I love the verigated threads. Most of my quilts are quilted with it. I machine quilt some of mine and some are done on a friends long arm. I can never decide what color thread, varigated helps to keep me from making that decision. I looks wonderful.

I wondered what was different about "blendables". Now I know. Thanks! :D

I like the idea of not having a set pattern, it would look so much nicer.

Superior - King Tut and Rainbow. I like Rainbow. It's polyester and no lint! It's what the Brother sewing machine reps have recommended at a couple Sit and Sews I've been at.

Thanks JoanneS. I'm dying to try a crazy quilt and the one thing I don't know anything about is what thread to use, I've seen some beautiful variegated stitchery done on the crazy quilt blocks but no one mentions what thread they're using.
