Being a quilter isn't just a hobby—it's a passion that weaves together creativity, tradition, and a lot of emotion and meaning.  Quilting is also a pastime, and we often waver between producing quilts and expending effort.  When it comes to creating those beautiful quilts, we start with selecting a pattern and fabric to expend our effort, and then we can choose to enhance the quilt with threads and embellishments that can take our project to a new level. Today, let's take a cozy dive into the world of hand quilting and quilting embellishments, guided by our wonderful products at Stitch by Stitch!

Threads that Tell Stories

When it comes to sewing, finding the right threads is key. At Stitch by Stitch, we've got an impressive selection that'll have your creative juices flowing! Aurifil threads are a personal favorite machine thread of mine—they're known for their quality and come in a rainbow of colors we carry 100 colours each of 40wt and 50wt, and are happy to order in the thread colours that you need - we have thread samples for the entire collection, and a rich selection of 28wt and 12wt as well.  Whether you're piecing together a quilt top using 50wt or adding those final hand stitching touches with 6 strand floss, Aurifil's wool and cotton threads are a dream to work with. They glide smoothly and hold up beautifully, ensuring your quilt stays strong and stunning for years to come.  

Hand-quilters looking for big stitches and decorative stitchers will be thrilled with our newest line in store: Valdani Threads. Specifically purchased to couple with the Cherry Wood Hand Dyed Fabrics.  These hand-dyed beauties are perfect for thread painting, adding intricate designs to your quilts, and for building dimensional effects. The colors are rich and vibrant, making every stitch a work of art in itself.  Partnered with the lovely to needle (as endorsed by several of our clients) Cherry Wood fabrics, the depth of colour, visual texture, and mottled effect is stunning.

We are proud to carry the Sue Spargo-partnered Wonderfil line of products:  Eleganza (8wt), Ellana (12wt), Spagetti (12wt), and Effina (60wt) as well as the coordinating wool felt.  Working with the variety of weights of threads and the Invisifil (100wt) in the bobbin or for micro quilting will add amazing texture and enhancements to your quilts and wall hangings.
