Silk Gauze Stitchery

Treat yourself to something different! Silk gauze is needlepoint canvas made of pure filament silk - the best quality. As an interlocking canvas, it's a sturdy, durable, easily workable choice for stitching any kind of design. High counts of silk gauze, like 40-count and up, offer stitchers a medium for making tiny embroidery. It's the material of choice for doll-house enthusiasts (great for miniature rugs, samplers, cushions), and ideal for embroidered jewelry set into brooches.

Kreinik offers silk gauze by the yard, 1/2-yard, 1/4-yard, or matted/framed in many sizes. We now have: 18-count, 32-count, 35-count, 40-count, 47-count, and 49-count.

Kreinik also offers beautiful design kits, featuring Kreinik silk and metallic thread plus silk gauze, needle, and the instructions to make a dog, cat, garden-themed, or Christmas themed design. Ask for silk gauze or Kreinik silk gauze kits at your local needlework store, or visit www.kreinik.com for a Store Locator listing.

New machine sewing metallic threads from Kreinik

Quilters and sewers often love the shimmer of a metallic thread in their projects, but hate how they can break so easily in their sewing machines. Kreinik has the solution in new metallic threads for quilting, machine embroidery, sersging, and long-arm quilting. These threads are heavy-duty, industrial-strength, and have brought relief from the frustration and breakage problem for quilters and sewers. Kreinik Silver Gimp, for instance, can run at speeds up to 1200 rpm hassle-free.

Samples of projects using Kreinik's Machine Sewing Metallic Threads:

Three types are available for adding that touch of sparkle to designs: Silver Gimp, Fine Twist, and Fashion Twist. Here are some comments about the new threads:
 

• “The gleam off the thread once quilted is subtle but glittery. It was like quilting with a fine line of liquid glitter.” - Marybeth O’Halloran

• “High speed is correct! We tested this thread on every type of machine we could from home and commercial embroidery machines to home and commercial quilting machines with great success on all machines! It is an awesome thread that you will want in your thread stash.” -  July 2008 Sew Fun Flyer from Quality Sewing and Vacuum stores.

• “You can tell Kreinik that their new thread is amazing!  I’m working on a quilt with lots of free motion work. I used it on the stars and wings and had no breakage, splitting, shredding, nothing.” - Patty Medaris Culea
