I was bidding on some variegated thread on Ebay and won it!!! I'm so excited to get it and try it out. I know exactly what I'm going to experiment on too. :-D

I love using Varigaeted Threads!!!

My husband is going to be so happy I found this board so I can learn new things and buy more. ;-) He already says he needs to build a room onto our house to keep all my quilting things in. LOL!!

Varigated thread is great, use it often.

Varigated thread and decreative stitching cover up a multitude of errors!!

What is a good brand of variegated thread to buy for the hand embroidery work on a crazy quilt?

At least until my quilting room is built, huh! LOL!!

I love using varigated thread. Makes the quilt looks pretty cool when it uses all the colors of the fabrics and makes the design pop.

I'm another who luuuuuuuvs varigated thread! Such an intersting addition to a quilt!

I love using variegated threads...and there are so many beautiful ones out there now. Enjoy!

Any pictures? Don't think I've seen any with variegated thread.

KimS, you sure have a keeper there. You are very fortunate to have such a supportive hubby.
Be happy, Kutnso

I am hand quilting my quilt right now with varigated thread for the firt time. I LOVE it. Was a little concerned that it didn't say for hand quilting,but it is wonderful.

Love using variegated threads and Hancocks has Guttermans on sale starting on Thursday.

Hope you can see this. If not Google images "variegated thread".

He doesn't really have much choice. :lol:

and he's going in the right direction!!! You will need to add a room - a large room! Keep shopping and it won't take long. I love verigated thread, especially for FMQ. Looks great on kid's quilts also.

I love verigated thread but found my machine doesn't like the king tut thread but does like aurifil so that's good.

I love varigated thread! It adds movement to the quilts!

I also like varigated thread .

LOL :thumbup: That's what my Hub said!! Well, I am getting the room!!! He has been getting it ready for me downstairs! put up the walls, and getting it ready to do the texture, next is the painting and floor!! I am so excited and pleased!!! :lol:

You'll have to send some pics when it's finished. :-D

I don't do hand embroidery, only machine now but I think you can use the same thread. I use Sulky, Robbison Atton, Gutterman, Coats & Clark,etc. there are so many different brands. A good place to find varigated thread is to go to a LQS that also sells sewing machines, especially if they have embroidery ones. You will find that there are different weights for different projects.

Somehow I am always dissapointed when I am done. Same with yarn...I guess I have the fantasy in mind and it never looks the way I thought it would.

Good for you - variegated thread is a terrific toy to play with!

I have trouble with varigated thread. It keeps jamming up my bobbin and shredding. Dothey make cotton or is it polyester?

Hopefully someone else will jump in and answer this because I don't know. I hand quilt.

Try a different weight.

You might need to use a lighter weight thread in the bobbin.

Just yesterday I found a quilt I had started quilting probably 5 years ago. It had gotten lost in the shuffle of my many moves during college. And I'd been using a variegated blue thread for the quilting. I love it more now than I think I did before even.

I sure will!! My girlfriend/quilting buddies are chomping at the bit for it to get done so we can have some fun time sewing days... Come on over!!!! ;)

I think variegated thread is so pretty sometimes I hate using it and just like looking at it but eventually I use it
