Todd Purcell - Superior Thread
Interviewed by Elizabeth Townsend Gard
Date December 2017
We are going to learn about threads! Todd took us through a lot of information about thread. I'm hoping this is the first of a number of conversations about threads, needles, tension, and other elements of quilting. Superior Threads has agreed to be one of our research partners! Superior Threads is a leading thread company.
Check out the Thread Selection Guide . Todd explains their lines including "King Tut" and "Masterpiece." He explains how the thread is made, including what means "extra long staple."
