Are you tired of seeing my tests of the new Liz Metallic threads? I'm not! 😁
As with the other metallic threads I've tested, this one does not show up nearly as nicely on the computer monitor as it does in person. The glass gem is a perfect accent to the thread. I think a flat shuttle works best for me when working with metallic threads. It's easy to wind and unwind the thread, and I don't have to worry about rubbing the threads between the tips of a post shuttle. I do like the bobbin shuttles for metallics, but I find that I can tat more evenly with the flat shuttle. This shuttle is from Grizzly Mountain Arts.
I'm making good progress on Renulek's Wiosna 2018, but I'm falling behind all because I snipped off round 8. I'll catch up!
I dusted off my sewing machine and made this lined drawstring bag today. I love this pattern by Jeni Baker! Using four fat quarters, I was able to cut out the pieces for two bags. I finished this one and started another. I would have finished them both, but my sewing machine was acting up so I took it in for servicing. Luckily, I have another sewing machine!
I am enjoying these threads and wonder what color I would get, mind spinning wondering all possibilities. Love shuttle too
ReplyDeleteAlso what are you planning to put in your bag? Tatting?
ReplyDeleteI just realized that the metallic threads from Handy Hands are named 'Liz'! You certainly have made us aware of them with all your experiments!
ReplyDeleteI am trying very hard to keep up with you, but you're like a whirlwind of activity! I don't know how you keep up with all your hobbies and find time to post almost every day! I have been feeling guilty about not posting after three years, and finally did a new post. I spend a lot of time reading about tatting and enjoy everyone's blogs, but I have gotten off-track in actually doing any tatting. Just a few things here and there. I have yet to try an ice drop, but that's next on my agenda!
Another great Ice Drop!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove how "springy" your doily is!!! :)
Great bag!! :)
