Day 19 of 30 Days of Giveaways - Isacord Thread

(This post was supposed to release on Saturday..
...so your comments are fine....but it is for Saturday's post..KJ)
IHAN's Day 19 of the
30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration

You could use this Isacord thread collection to create Sarah Vedeler's "Be You" Quilt  or another design you have been wanting to make.  This wonderful tin includes 12 Isacord spools in a collectors window tin: Bright Yellow, Orange Peel, Pumpkin, Red Pepper, Bright Ruby, Cherry, Alexis Blue, Dark Teal, Amazon, Champagne, Pecan, and Limabean.


Sarah Vedeler Designs are so much fun.  I love the energy in her work.  Remember this gorgeous quilt?

Posted as a giveaway on March 16, 2010 here on the IHAN blog

I think the "Be You" Isacord Thread Collection" would be fun with this as well.  With all this silk and thread....I'm thinking St. Peter is going to be asking some questions at the pearly gates soon....I'm seeing a bright light in the distance....(just kidding).

I don't have an embroidery machine but I have used Isacord thread with some of my punchneedle projects.  I really like the shine and color...it gives a piece some pop.

Darlene has an embroidery machine and this is what she has to say about Isacord thread:

Kelly,
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you carry Isacord threads. I have been using Isacord thread for machine embroidery for many years, and in recent years have even been using it for machine quilting. It is a high quality thread that comes in a variety of colors. But I love how easy it is to work with and how well it holds up. I highly too recommend Isacord thread!
Darlene aka SewCalGal
These are some samples of machine embroidery using Isacord thread.  (bottom is unfinished....but it was so pretty I could not resist posting it)



I think these are cheerful, don't you?

Isacord is the thread of choice for maximum productivity and the highest quality embroidery among the largest embroidery houses. At nearly twice the strength of rayon thread, Isacord is the smoothest running and most reliable polyester thread produced. It has been engineered from the finest raw materials to provide just the right amount of elasticity to allow for high speed running without looping or puckering while virtually eliminating thread breaks. Isacord is available in 1,000 and 5,000 meter mini-kingspools featuring a unique snap down base for clean and easy storage

Thanks to Brewer Quilting and Sewing one lucky IHAN blog reader will win the "Be You Isacord Thread Collection."  To enter to win you must leave a comment on this post (click on the red "Please Comment Here" below this post) telling us why you think you should win this incredible thread collection.

Smiles,
Kelly

  20. I don't have an embroidery machine, but I can see using that delightful thread with the decorative stitches on my machine to make a "crazy" quilt.

    I think I should win because I know how to spell "Sheer Delight"

    *I*S*A*C*O*R*D T*H*R*E*A*D

    mmmmmmm Yep that is how you spell it, especially if it is a PRIZE from IHAN (and that is how you spell 'fun' I*H*A*N )

    Now send me that thread!!! (((puh-leeeesse)

    ReplyDelete
  21. That is beautiful thread and I love all the colors. I love the little tin box! How fun! I hope I win!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have been experimenting with free motion quilting with regular thread, and it keeps breaking, it is so frustrating! A friend told me she uses Isacord thread, and hasn't had that problem since! I wish I could give it a try!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have heard this is wonderful thread and this would be the perfect opportunity to try it.

    ReplyDelete

  27. I do love Isacord thread. While I'm really happy to see so many people excited to win it, I do wish more people realized Isacord is a wonderful thread and has more uses than just machine embroidery. I really do love to use it for free hand machine quilting and decorative stitching, in general. Lovely thread. In fact, I'm working on decorating some table runners for Easter using Isacord!

  28. I should win this because I haven't won anything else so far and I'm beginning to feel like "loser" instead of "not a winner" if you catch my drift.
    But, on the off chance that I have actually won something, then you should give it to Gene Black because that guy is REALLY wanting it. And, he knows the correct way to spell fun (wink,wink)!!♥

    ReplyDelete
  29. Lovely thread and the lucky winner will be in 7th heaven. Which would be great if it were me but if not me I agree Gene should get it, his post is witty!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yummy, yummy threads and colors.
    I too do not have an embroidery machine but I have done some free motion accenting on my pictorial wall hangings. As usually another great give-away.

  31. I think I should win bz I haven't done any machine embroidery in a few years and this thread would inspire me to get back into doing it! The colors are beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Absolutely luscious colors! I need to win so that I can try this thread. I am looking for a wonderful line of thread that I can fill my thread holder with. I have an old wooden card catalog from a library and I plan to organize by thread color. These would get me started!

    ReplyDelete
  33. What beautiful thread! My husband is building me a gigantic thread holder and winning this thread would help fill it up. I'd love to use it on my projects.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hi and greetings from Western Australia. I should win this because the colours are so different to what I would usually use and then I would be forced to 'step out of my comfort zone' and try something really different. They do look great. Thanks to you, Kelly, and all the companies for making this possible. Sam (Sandra) s.downes@murdoch.edu.au

    ReplyDelete
  43. I have been eying that particular button on your sidebar for a while and thinking "Maybe! Maybe!" and, at last, my wish comes true. Honestly, I have never embroidered in my life (by machine), but I can learn. I am teachable. I am eager. I really want that collection.

  45. I think I should win this thread because my quilts could turn into cinderella creations with magnificent thread like this!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I've been patiently waiting and watching for "that" something special to my heart.

    Okay, THIS is it! I LOVE Isacord. It is the ONLY thread I use to embroider. And I LOVE how it works when sewing fancy stitches. I often wonder why more people don't use it for that "punch" they want to achieve when adding embellishing stitches.


    Isacord is the thread of choice for me...period.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would love to win this collection of threads. That way I can play and create to my heart's content. Thank you. Take care and God bless, Cory

    ReplyDelete
  71. I love, love, love using the Isacord in my embroidery machine, but haven't thought of using it for quilting. It has so little breaking problems. I think I should give it a try.

    ReplyDelete
  72. The marketing folks who named the colors were spot on-- especially the lima bean color... I "sew" get it (I know, trite play on words).

    I used to work in marketing, but I didn't get to do fun stuff, like name colors... so if I had it could live vicariously through the Isacord color namers. How's that?

    ReplyDelete
  73. I don't have an embroidery machine, but I have used Isacord thread for machine quilting and is GREAT:) It is my favorite thread and my machine loves it too:) Oh I would love to have this collection and did I mention my machine would love it also:) Thanks! Jenna Louise

I have been running out of thread colors left and right. I'm also going to school right now and so that is where my money is going to instead of replenishing my thread stock!

    I think it would be amazing.

    Thanks for the chance.

  130. Wow - great colors and many great thread qualities. I can see lots of possibilities for the Isacord Thread. It might get used up quilting and punch needling and embellishing before I get my embroidery machine...

    Thanks Kelly and Brewer! You Be a colorful Day 19!

    ReplyDelete
  131. I'd really like to win this,
    for my embroidery machine I bought.
    It's sitting all by it's lonesome,
    so far it's all for naught.

    But if I win some Isacord thread,
    my Brother machine I'd use!
    I'll make all kinds of pretty things,
    with all their pretty hues.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I've been reading about Isacord for years, but can't buy everything, so this would be a great opportunity to try it out!

    ReplyDelete
  133. I think I should win this because... because... because... I WANT IT!! LOL! I do a lot of machine applique in my quilting and I find that using embroidery thread works really well. These colors are AWESOME!

    These giveaways are crazy!!! Thanks for doing this!
