Hi there, you are a great teacher❤ I have seen a tiny moth or two in the house now. How do you protect your wool projects that are hanging or on display?
That's a great question! We'll have to pass that along and see if we can get a list of wool care and tips for you! I would recommend storing your wool projects somewhere safe away from moths. With a quick search, I found this resource for you! www.thespruce.com/best-moth-repellents-4157574

Thank you Beth for researching this for me❤
I've read and heard advice on youtube that the weight of your bobbin thread should match that of your top thread. Is that not the case? It seems to me that the difference between 12 wt and 50 wt would be a lot. Also, do you know why thread spools don't usually have the weight imprinted on them? I've gotten confused while shopping. They simply state all purpose, or quilting, or button thread. I never see the weight. Any insight for me? Thanks!
Hi Linda! It is not uncommon to use a heavier weight in the top (12) and a lighter weight in the bottom (50). It is also not wrong to use the same weight in both. Slight adjustments to the machine's tension settings may be needed for either option. Most brands we carry, such as Sulky, have the weight stamped on the spool and many brands, like Aurifil, color-code the plastic part of the spool to distinguish between weights. Please let us know if you have any other questions! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
@@ShabbyFabrics Thank you so much for the quick reply! FYI: I'm getting started on the Leah Collection Kaleidoscope Quilt that I bought from Shabby Fabrics. So looking forward to seeing it come together.
I wish I could use a machine but my Brother NQ575 manual says not to use anything less than a 30 wt thread. I assume only some machines can do this?
Hi Dawn - That is a very good question. While we do think you should follow the given instructions in your sewing machine manual, the 12wt thread is thicker than the 30wt. This may be the reason behind your sewing machine manual's recommendation. You may want to reach out to Brother (or where you purchased your machine) and ask them about sewing with a 12wt for short periods of time for decorative purposes. Hope this helps! -Michelle
Also use a denim or leather needle to thread thicker thread, keep your bobbin thread lightweight
I want to watch the next video the the refers to but can't find it. Any help? The link below sends you back to the machine stitching. I would like to see the one where she talks about the hand embroidery.
