These thread glosses come in 11 different scents. For instance, the Vacay Blend contains beeswax, coconut oil, and coconut essential oil, so it smells like a warm and sandy vacation.
Thread gloss is a specially formulated wax and oil blend that coats your thread to prevent tangles, fraying, and brittleness. Think of it as a deep conditioner for your thread and embroidery floss.

Using thread gloss helps prevent tangles and knots, taking away all of the frustration of handwork.
Anytime that you’re dealing with cotton thread such as hand embroidery, hand quilting, cross-stitch, english paper piecing, or applique, give this product a try. Simply drag your thread across the gloss pot after threading your needle, applying slight pressure on the thread with your thumb, while pulling with your other hand.

Major Minor is a lap-sized throw that can be made with a layer cake, background fabric, and sashings.

The pattern also allows for individual interpretation, making each quilt a unique masterpiece.
Rotation is a sweet twist on a Dresden Plate quilt and is layer cake friendly. It plays with the concepts of motion and perspective. This pattern is a dizzying array of blocks turned at various angles, creating the illusion of perpetual motion. It’s a delightful visual puzzle that keeps the viewer’s eyes moving, tracing the blocks as they seem to rotate around the quilt.
Finally, Appli’ Jacks reinterprets the classic Applejack pattern with an applique approach, adding texture and depth to the design. Each apple is meticulously designed with an incredible level of detail. It’s an homage to tradition, yet reinvented with a fresh and modern touch. Appli’ Jacks is a layer cake-friendly quilt as well.
