I wonder how that thread would work in the long arm....... I love variegated thread for use in quilting. I figured the Maxi Lock would work because aren't sergers fast machines? Nope, it broke too much for my likes. I even bought a more expensive brand that mentioned good for use in long arm machines - nope - too many breaks. I have to say my machine loves some of the "Superior" brand threads (not all) but for what I do, I can't justify the cost of their threads... Okay, enough about me, this is worth checking out and if nothing else, I'll piece with it :-)

Linda said...

Oh now there is absolutely NO DOUBT that it was brought back because of your campaign. Who in their right mind wants to deal with BOB? HAHAHA

Katie said...

Weather? I wish I could postpone going to work because of "weather"! I hope you did have a part in bringing these back. They're beautiful!

Hi, Katie - I don't know if it would work in the long arm or not. The ad in the catalog says - "Multi-colored Essential(TM) Thread spools are great for quilting, embroidery, or even just a straight stitch. 1200 yard spools of 50/3 Double Mercerized extra-long staple cotton. Approx 58" repeat, color change every 19"." I just added that info to my post as an edit update - ;))

A Left-Handed Quilter said...

Haha - BOB would love to think that she had SOMETHING to do with it - ;))

A Left-Handed Quilter said...

Hi Katie - they ARE gorgeous, aren't they?? I am SOOOOOOO glad that they brought them back - and like I said at the beginning of the post - I hope they sell TONS - ;))

Julie Fukuda said...

I would like to think there are actually companies out there that listen to their customers.

Linda C said...

Maybe there were others who were asking the same thing---bring it back! I don't think I have gotten my copy of the newest catalog yet. Mail lady has already been here for the day. HMMMM well there is always the website.

A Left-Handed Quilter said...

I agree Julie - and I think that this company may be one of them - ;))

A Left-Handed Quilter said...

You're probably right - we couldn't be the only ones who wanted them to bring it back!!

I got my copy of their catalog a week or so ago - it's the March 2014 issue. The cover says - "NEW! Golden Age - NEW! Natural Love II - NEW Silk Batting and Variegated Thread Spools". I didn't even read the blurb on the cover - I just found it on Page 9 as I was thumbing through the catalog.

I just checked the website - it's not available yet. I guess the only way to see the promo is to follow my link or to go their site and do a search for "variegated". Maybe tomorrow - ;))

Cindy Quilts said...

I took part in your campaign! I am so glad the brought it back! I will ordering some.

A Left-Handed Quilter said...

THANKS!! - Wouldn't it be great if we ALL ordered some - and they underestimated the "demand" - and "sold out" sooner than they expected?? - ;))
