ffq-lar Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I received my newsletter from www.sewthankful.com with new King Tut colors. I love the new "off" colors--"almost" sage, "kinda" brown, red "with an attitude"--disclaimer--these are NOT the names of the colors!! But they are great! I don't buy a lot of KT since I have fallen in love with So Fine and Metro, but these could bring me back into the fold! Also, on sale for $17.99 for those without a Superior wholesale account. No affiliation, but I love Sewthankful. Get updates on her sales and coupons by subscribing to the newsletter.
Joyce Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 So how many did you order?? Where have you been? Thought that you might be setting around eating BonBons. LOL
suzanp Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks just put in an order, but won't say how many!!!!
quiltedsunflower Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Have you seen Superior's new thread clubs? Looks like a good way to build your thread "stash"

Thought that you might be setting around eating BonBons. LOL Funny you should mention BonBons, missy! I just finished the last of a beautiful assortment of hand-made candy I received from a friend in Missouri! Boy, she makes the BEST candy. And the last one was a delicious truffle! ;)
Joyce Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 You must have really hidden them from Den or you wouldn't have any left. Shame on you.
Borderline Quilter Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Wooo lovely.......Taffeta, Raspbery Ripple, Rainy Days, Jade, Cinnamon, Dill, hhhmmmm.....wonder how long till they are over the pond?
klwheeler Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 I got them all and love them! Lots of nice colors and now have the whole line of King Tut, So Fine!, Rainbows, and most of the Bottom Line. Love Superior Threads!
mscott2611 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks for the info about this company. I have found a new favorite.
Sandra Darlington Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Hi Karen (Wheeler), I just sent you a U2U. Sandy
KathG Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Oh, there are some yummy colours. Must resist. !!!
Guest Linda S Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 I need to save up some coin and get some of these. I've hounded poor Bob for several years for a few more solid colors in King Tut. I love the thread - one of the only cottons I've tried that doesn't make a linty mess of my machine, but I just don't use a lot of variegated thread. I'm so pleased to see this!
delld Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Linda I saw them and wished I had not left my clothes on the front porch, I would order all of them. I love the thick thread. SO I'm only to order a couple!!!!
quiltmonkey Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Where's my Bon Bon and truffle? OK.....FINE! Sure, you ate them all didn't you? So I'll have to settle for some new King Tut threads... I'm off... Going shopping...
Sparkle Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Oh --My! You are sooo -bad Linda! Those new colors are scrumptious! I need to order just a few. (yeah, right)---I seldom order a few of anything! I also like SewThankfuls prices and usually get my Superior from them when they are having a sale. Bob Purcell is doing his Thread Therapy presentation this Friday at our local embroidery bash event. I wonder if he brings threads along to sell? Anyone been to his presentation or know if he has his products available for sale?
redhotmama Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 So what do you ladies use in the bobbin when using King Tut on top? Thanks for answering
Corey Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Bob Purcell was in our guild a few months ago, If I remember it correctly, he told the girls that he doesn't usually sell threads when he does thread therapy, I don't know if there are some changes so you might want to email and ask him. Corey
newmillie2010 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 RedHotMama: i have been successful using Bottom Line, So Fine, and King Tut itself in the bobbin. Have Fun!
Sparkle Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Bob never made it to the Embroidery Bash, (airport/airline problems)--- and yes Corey---he evidently prefers not to bring threads to sell we were told. That's kinda disappointing as I dislike hearing lectures where the speaker talks about something they like in particular, and they are the manufacturer besides---but, they don't have it to sell after the lecture is over. We have speakers like that at guild sometimes and they didn't bring their books, their special rulers or scissors or whatever---you sort of sit there drooling, check book in hand---and all you get is a website address or supplier list when it's all over. More disappointing if you live in an area where there are not many sources for some of the supplies shown. ******************* I use King Tut with So-Fine. I use So-Fine in the bobbin with just about everything now. I order King Tut from Sew-Thankful when it's on sale.
Guest Linda S Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Angie - I'm not sure if Bob still does this, but when he came to Oregon to speak at Mary's River Quilt Guild, he brought samples! I like that even better than selling - free is always nice!
njquiltergirl Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Angie, he cancelled his MQX East classes also...?? Hope all is well.
ffq-lar Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Posted April 18, 2011 I have noticed that Cindy Needham of "Linenlady" fame is teaching the Threadology class at several venues this year. Perhaps Bob is scaling back...
