It also resists abrasive agents and has excellent resistance when exposed to light and sea water. The high quality of the thread allows it to be used to embroider leather, monograms, high quality decorations and other applications for Sport clothing, shoes, caps and emblems.

Quilter’s Cupboard’s friendly staff is available to answer your questions and help pick fabrics for any quilting project. We are an exclusive Baby Lock sewing machine dealer that offers personalized training and great prices – we really know and love our machines! My love of sewing and quilting has led me to own this beautiful shop and I look forward to sharing ideas and seeing your projects. I have a sign that says – “Do something every day that makes you happy”. I hope you’ll do like I do and quilt!
