New Threads in Store - Razzle Dazzle

Brand new threads have just arrived in the store at Berrima Patchwork - one of these new collections is the Razzle Dazzle Threads designed by Ricky Tims for Superior Threads. These threads are a 8wt and are ideal of bobbin work, couching and serger. Razzle Dazzel is a heavier embellishment thread that is made of polyester and metallic and have a fantastic shine and shimmer. They are soft and pliable which allow the thread to move with the fabric. 

If you use the thread in your bobbin - wind it slowly onto the bobbin and loosen your bobbin tension (if you have a Bernina this is easy - if you have a drop in bobbin you will fine this difficult). I then just use a top thread that will blend with the Razzle Dazzle thread you have chosen - Bottom Line by Superior threads is a good top thread to use and they come in a range of colours.  This thread cannot be used as a top thread.

The Threads come in a 110yd except for the colour Icicles which is 88yds. All the spools are $10.50.  

This is the range of colours that are available. There are a total of 25 different threads in this collection and we have all of them in store. Check out their names - there are some fun ones!

 

To purchase any of these threads you can view them on our online shop.

 More information about the other 3 new thread collections soon.

Class with Jennie Osborne

Today we had Jennie Osborne teaching the second day class of her Quilter's Carry-All. This is a stunning little carry all which you can put all your sewing and quilting notions in. On the outside of the bag there are two different embroideries.
Here are some photos of the students work. They are well on their way of nearly being finished. If you were unable to make the class we do have a pattern which Jennie has created for this carry-all.

New Fabric in Store - Touch of Spice

Touch of Spice is the latest new arrival into the shop by Fabric Freedom.

Each fabric in the range is embellished with metallic gold. The designs and colour ways in this group can all be used together, as the same colour theme runs through all sixteen skus, which can be used all together to create a wonderful vibrant quilt. The colour of hot paprika and chilli in lighter and darker tones, sits alongside ground ginger, cumin and peppery browns. The 5 designs go from pale cream, blue and peach, through mid tones of colour and shade, to rich dark hues. A variety of images, all shimmering with metallic gold, give this range a cool exotic feeling and add depth and variety to the range, which despite its contrasts of grasses, flowers, patterns and even birds, work beautifully together.

Touch of Spice is $22 per meter.
