I tend to use a darker thread rather than a lighter one because to my eyes the thread seems to appear lighter once it is sewn into the fabric. However, this is just my preference, and I always suggest using the thread that looks right to you – after all, it is your creation!

When I Googled for a C&C thread conversion chart – your blog came up!!! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! Today I’m heading back into town (a 50 mile round trip) to do more errands, but mostly to pick up thread to continue a project I want to keep going on.

Yesterday a girl at the local Joanne Fabrics, wasn’t even aware that the new thread #’s didn’t match the old thread #’s. I was the one to mention that there might be a conversion chart on the internet and she seemed somewhat interested. Well today I’m taking a copy to the store and “nicely” suggest that they might want to laminate it & hang it by their thread as a great customer service! My husband & I want to come up with a class & offer it to businesses, called “No Customer Service”. What are they thinking???

So I applaude you for what you are providing to the rest of us!!!!!!

Fortunately, I found that website!

I thought it is interesting you suggest a darker color thread than fabric…if I can’t find a close color, I always go lighter–because the fabric will fade (esp. cottons) with washing, but the thread usually won’t.

Macie,
Coats and Clark do have a great product. I really don’t any place to get the thread at a discount. I usually buy my when Hancock’s or JoAnn’s have their notions at 1/2 price. I stock up than.
Thanks for enjoying the blog.

I do a lot of sewing and make extra money doing alterations have been sewing for over 40 years and
always use Coats & Clark thread to me nothing works
as well with most frabrics. I think it’s so important to
have dependable tools when you work no matter what
the job. I ‘d like to know if Coats & Clark sell anywhere
at a discounted price I buy at Walmart but they do not
have some of the colors I sometimes need to complete a project. Thank you for such a GREAT
product.
