Using thread colours to complement the quilt.

When stitching Creative & Heirloom style designs it is possible to change thread colours to blend, or highlight, different features of the quilt. However a thread change fee does apply when more than one colour of thread is used in a quilt.

Speciality threads such as variegated, heavier weights and metallic thread are all available when quilting in the Creative & Heirloom style.

The use of metallic, & some heavier weight threads is not recommended on bed quilts that may require regular laundering.

100% Cotton thread is used for all quilting, unless otherwise specified, and a small surcharge applies. Read about the threads and see the extensive colour range of Cotton Mako' threads.

Satin finished Aurilux polyester threads are also available for use on art quilts, wall hangings and tops where you want a touch of "jazz".
