Diane Gaudynski YLI 100% silk thread cones
Diane Gaudynski is a nationally known, award winning, quilter, designer and educator. She is recognised as the innovator of using YLI #100 silk as a machine quilting thread.
Here's what she wrote to me:
“I first saw it (#100 silk thread) displayed for hand appliqué, and thought to myself, this is as fine as invisible yucky thread, but has a luster and great light reflective capability, plus it is chameleon-like in that colors become the color of the surrounding fabrics, so of course it screamed out "machine quilting thread" to me and I have never used anything but. It is a bit more expensive than other threads, but the effect is so worth it plus the ability to avoid knots and lumps because it is so fine makes it so easy to work with. Even beginners' work can look great right away, with a little practice at keeping the stitches smaller.”
This is what Jill Reed of Colorado says:
I really like your web site. Very easy to navigate, and great graphics! I think that pictures and design really keep a person interested in a site. And your site is done well. Some sites are too "busy" and hard to view. Yours wasn't! I think your service was great. A quick response time. Yea! I will let you know what I think about the thread when I get it. I am sure it will be wonderful, since it has Diane Gaudynski's name on it. I am a big fan of her work.
With your order of mini cones you will receive a FREE tips and techniques sheet on how to use this thread for machine quilting.
There are 1000 meters of silk thread on each cone.
