You can create wonderful effects in your embroidery simply by varying the materials used. If it can be threaded through a needle, pushed (or pulled) through a fabric or tacked to a fabric surface, we call it a thread. Threads can be traditional, glitzy, garish, gentle, fluffy, sparkly, romantic, shiny, soothing and luxurious. From naturals to neons, we have a wonderful selection of colors and fibers! |
