from United States on 07/24/2024 - Lovely threads 123Stitch has lovely threads. I make embroidered greeting cards which I sell at craft fairs. People frequently comment on the threads I use. Some are Kreinik but I find a better selection and ease of getting them at 123Stitch, as Kreinik threads are harder to get lately at local stores. Since Kreinik has discontinued some colors, I tried Glissen Gloss (on their recommendation) and love it too. Really appreciate their selection and advice.
