i said other my favourite brand is birch an australian it is the one used in the class i took whilst on a cruise.
I like Guttermann vareigated thread. This is my favourite of all times.
I like Sulky for all the metalic threads they have, and it puts a sparkle on the cards I embroider.
I think the brand is Avec metallic threads are my favorite.
my favorites is sulky, although at times I try others I usually end up using sulky
I use mostly DMC because I have all the dolors. I also like Hand-dyed-fibers silk floss.
It was hard to pick just one. If I’m making a formal card I use Kremik. Some Christmas cards I use a Gutterman metallic gold that is to me the “perfect” gold. But most of my cards are less formal, dont need the perfect gold and for these I love the softness, variety of colors and metallic looks of the DMC floss.
I have practically all makes of embroidery threads, but my favorite is Guttermann Sulky silk and metallic. Both threads are soft and great to work with and also they have great selections of beautiful colours !!!
i like using scan silk-its quite expensive to buy but the results are worth it:-)
