I bought some Incredible Shrinking Thread at Paducah a couple years ago. It wasn't selling, in a box at the back of the booth. The vendor worker wasn't sure what could be done with it, only that it shrunk when heated. She sold them to me cheap. I put them away not knowing exactly what to do with it. Then Texture Magic came out. Same thing! I can stitch close together on any fabric and have the textured look. If you can find the thread it might be less expensive then the Texture Magic.
