2. Konfetti™ 50wt Double Gassed Ultra-Low Lint Egyptian Cotton Packs
Sure, there’s cotton thread, and then there’s premium double gassed long staple Egyptian cotton thread. When you want to treat a sewing machine right, give them the gift of a thread that’s truly a step above the average. This colourfast cotton has been double gassed, a process where the thread passes between a flame that eliminates 80% of the lint from its surface. This process is repeated a second time, ensuring Konfetti™ cotton thread is one of the lowest lint cotton threads in the quilting market. This greatly reduces lint build up in the machine and gives your quilting stitches a clean and polished look.
Choose from a variety of gorgeous colourways, including a few specialty sets by Laundry Basket Quilts.

2. The Thread Tamer Sewing Accessory
The Thread Tamer is a must-have sewing accessory for any sewer, but it especially makes a big difference for machine embroidery. This specialized tool has several unique features that can’t be found on the same device anywhere else. If you’re using a slippery thread or one with a stronger memory, such as a metallic thread that tends to curl more, the detachable extender allows the user to weave the thread through the slots. This helps to tame the thread and pull out any curls before the thread enters the machine, helping to give you a trouble-free sewing experience. This is handy to give your machine a smooth, easy thread feed during high speed machine embroidery or embroidery with more finnicky threads.
For smaller mini spools that need to be drawn from the side rather than from the top, the Thread Tamer also has a built-in side drawing peg in the middle. You’ll also have 3 pegs and 3 couching slots at the base of the tamer so your threads won’t be rolling across your sewing room when you’re doing couching. How’s that for a thread stand that can do it all?
