Especially when they got tangled up with us humans!

I particularly liked your picture of the phone cord! Who doesn’t remember what a mess they could be?

Absolutely! And in the case of my working with Metallics, it was a constant reminder for me in all things ‘daily’!

Perhaps as more tricks and tweeks are revealed in future posts, you might venture out and give them a try. Thanks for stopping by, Cindy!

I like your advice: Sew Slow. Kind of applies to daily life sometimes.

I’ve often looked at them in the store but never had the nerve to try them. Even after reading your tips I still think I will think of them as pretty on the spool and in a basket. I so glad you shared this. 🙂

More attention to detail is involved in using them, so using them should be a deliberate choice knowing they take special care. Kind of like buying a cashmire sweater – not your basic throw in the washer/dryer garment, but wow what a payback in coziness when used & cared for ‘correctly’. Perhaps that’s a dumb analogy, but it’s what popped into my mind right now!
Cozy sweater weather is dawning, maybe that was the root of that analogy!
