Tip Tuesday:
Tackling Tricky Threads is the topic today - dealing with difficult-to-thread threads like Razzle and Dazzle? Do you find the ends fray easily or do you get twists and curls while you stitch? Discover some handy tricks.
Tame the Twist: Trim both ends of the thread, then moisten your fingers with water from a small dish or damp sponge. Gently pull on the thread - this will help reduce curling during use.
Sticky Solution: Those dampened ends will also cling together, making threading a breeze, especially with a large eye needle like the Clover chenille needle Marilyn is using in this example.
Fold for Ease: For persistent thread troubles, fold the dampened thread in half using the needle. The resulting thicker thread is sturdier and glides effortlessly through the needle's eye.

Marilyn’s Staff Pick
Marilyn, our Liberty Lover! This week, she's chosen the enchanting Liberty of London Christmas Line - as her Staff Pick. As someone with a Liberty collection that's drool-worthy, it's no surprise she's smitten with this line! If Marilyn were a colour, she'd undoubtedly be aqua, matching her upbeat, friendly personality - so you can guess which colourway she is drawn to!
Where do you see Marilyn going with this collection? Fussy cutting for an EPP project? Machine piecing? Maybe some appliqué?!
