2- I have a lot of embroidery thread, I mean a lot of it, my question is: Does it ever get too weak or rotten to safely use on projects?
Thanks for any help I can get on this.
I use the clear plastic tubing from Home depot and just cut it with scissors (not the ones I use for fabric) - usually have to trim a little to fit the bobbins and then a slit so it wraps around the thread. I even label w/ a Sharpie is it is cotton, clear, etc.
