When my daughter got married 5 years ago, she asked me to make pennants for the inside of the tent.

Part 2: Just a Bit about Thread

March 19, 2020 by Judy

If you’re not a beginner, you can just skim over the top of this. However, thread can be one of the most confusing topics of all time. It’s not a riveting topic to be sure, but essential nonetheless.
