Rayon is the classic embroidery thread. The downside to rayon is that most Rayon is not colorfast, so you must be careful when washing any projects with rayon thread due to the potential color bleed. Trilobal polyester is colorfast and has the sheen of rayon. Here's a page on Fibers which we highlight Rayon & Polyester. http://www.superiorthreads.com/educa...tics-of-thread
Great to see you on here. Love your newsletters.

I LOVE Superior's Bottom Line bobbins, too. I stock up on both Rainbow and bobbins at quilt shows where Superior usually has great prices! Otherwise, I order from their web site.

I don't believe I've ever seen a cotton varigated....so if anyone has, please post! I've gotten the majority of my varigated @ Joanns...on sale or with coupon. Have to watch those pennies!
