Journey of Quilting

Leap Day Superior Thread giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered! If you did not win, I hope you will visit Superior Threads soon!
The type of thread used to piece and quilt is so important!
I typically piece with a neutral cotton thread like King Tut. I'm also pretty boring and tend to use a similar thread for quilting. There are only a few brands of thread that my machine likes so I stick with what I know.

So when I got the chance to try another line of thread courtesy of Superior Threads, I was excited to step out of my rut.

Aren't they beautiful? The metallic thread is so pretty as topstitching. Chaney calls it "sparkly" thread.

One of the first things that I learned as a new quilter is that thread matters. I also learned this the hard way through broken thread, bobbin bellybutton lint, and lots of swears. So I'll admit, I was a tad bit skeptical of the metallic thread but my picky machine loved it. My favorite part is that Superior Threads gives their suggestion on tension for each type of thread which = a lot less wasting of thread trying to figure out the tension.

Want some sparkly thread of your own? How about a coordinating 1/2 yard of those adorable Pezzy prints?? Well to celebrate Leap Day, Superior Threads has generously offered three spools for me to giveaway to a lucky reader. I'm throwing in the fabric because Pez makes everything more fun. :)
