Creating the world around us, one stitch at a time

For the first of May’s deals, we’re offering a freebie on one of sewing’s basics – thread!

With the ridiculous price of gasoline, staying home is more appealing than ever. To make it even more fun, let someone else bring craft supplies to you ... and we’ll throw in a free Hand-Sewing Thread with every purchase of $50 or more (before shipping).

To take advantage of this offer: After choosing your shipping option write “Free thread please” in the “Any special requests/comments?” field in our shopping cart to receive your free thread.

This thread is fun for handwork, teaching kids how to sew (which I’ve been doing with my five-year-old ... it’s a great activity when you’re trying to keep kids still and quiet (like waiting for doctor’s appointments), especially with small and rewarding projects like very basic stuffed toys with appropriate supervision), and so much more. Some people use it in their machines, but I find our Fiberactive Thread more appropriate for that purpose (and yes, we’ll probably offer a deal on that thread at some point too ... just not necessarily this month).

Fine print: This deal’s only valid while supplies last, and only until we post the next May Special, on Tuesday. Only one free thread per shipment. You must order online and request the free thread in your comments when ordering to qualify for it.
