News from Quilter's JEM for the week of 02/26/2021

North Star Quilters Guild invites you to an online lecture with Nina Clotfelter.

 
Join us on Saturday, February 27 at 10 AM for an online presentation:
THREADS - What's the BIG deal?

This is a FUN lecture on all the things you didn't know you needed to know about thread!
As an educator for WonderFil Specialty Threads, Nina has learned a lot and wants to share!

When we purchase thread it's usually the color we buy, or the thread the shop carries.  In this lecture you'll learn about the different weights of thread and why they make a difference. Why is ply important?
How do we work with specialty threads like metallic, monofilament and tinsel?
Why do metallics give us issues? 
This lecture is FULL of information you'll be happy you know!

The lecture is free, but registration is required as spaces are limited. Register at the Signup Genius event: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040a4eaaae28a31-threads.

Then look for an email from QuiltingontheRed@gmail.com with the meeting id and password, which will arrive a day before the event.


Here's a new challenge for all you creative sewists!   Your participation helps to support our very own Colleen Carlson
as she works toward becoming a quilt judge!
Quilter's JEM will be a drop off site for your quilts. Drop off on March 15th, and pickup on March 27th.
