Thread Talk: DecoBob™ 80wt Cottonized Polyester Thread

[@njame2137]

So good to meet you at the Alsace patchwork show today! Can’t wait to get home and try my DecoBob Bobbinator. Your stand really stood out and we enjoyed the chat with you, you’re all so friendly and it was great to meet you !

I never knew thread weight could make so much difference! Thank you for all this great information. I can’t wait to try DecoBob soon.😊

[@dragonfly5220]

What a pleasant and informative presentation. I have learned so much! Thank you both lovely ladies!

[@WonderFilThreads]

Thank you for tuning in, so glad to hear you found it so informative! We are always trying to threaducate 😀

[@BrendanBerg1]

I use DecoBob all the time, especially for Foundation Paper Piecing. The thread is so thin AND strong and when you crank down the stitch length, it’s a dream when ripping out the paper - the stitches don’t come loose. I also use it in my bobbin for regular piecing…which is great for every day piecing because you can load up the bobbin and it seems to last forever. I like the beige or silver color thread…it blends into everything 4:41

[@WonderFilThreads]

That is great! We are so glad you enjoy using the thread so much. the silver is one of our most popular colours, so versatile 🙂

I’m so glad you put this on as a replay as I sadly missed the live stream. Very interesting and lots of information. Thank you ❤

[@WonderFilThreads]

So glad you got to see it and learn something!

[@MaryJanesLane]

I enjoyed this very much and learned so much! I just heard of decobob yesterday and purchased two spools. Can't wait to try it piecing a quilt!

[@KezRJ]

Hi from Australia! I love DecoBob, especially for quilting. It looks lovely on the fabric. Thanks for this talk!

[@WonderFilThreads]

Hello from Calgary ☺

[@karenshlemkevich2591]

You two are awesome! This was super informative!

[@jerriestep8318]

I have loved using DecoBob to piece my quilts. It does a great job doing that. Had always used 50wt but now I will always use DecoBob I think as long as I don’t need full cotton.

[@WonderFilThreads]

That's great! Sometimes it so pays off to try a new thread for something, we always love experimenting with different threads in ways we haven't used them before yet

[@lindagriffith8041]

I’ve used 50 wt thread for piecing my quilts for 30 years, and recently started using decobob and invisifil to piece. No more bulky seams!

[@SuperBrijen]

Fantastic info, ladies, thank you! I have used Decobob and a few of your other threads after attending various workshops at different quilt symposiums here in NZ - am now the owner of a longarmer, and will definitely be a regular customer on your NZ website. Have a great 2024!

[@cinnalouwinna]

I purchased several decobob threads at the Long Beach quilt show. Both Betty and Barney were amazing reps and so knowledgeable. I use decobob for both piecing and foundation paper piecing. I love it!

[@WonderFilThreads]

So glad to hear your experience at the booth was so positive! We appreciate you dropping by ☺

[@cecilianilsson1594]

Did I see you at the Quilt- en Patchwork days in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, some years ago? If so, I was super impressed with your booth, all the threads you had, your knowledge, I learned a lot 🙂. Love DecoBob

[@WonderFilThreads]

I believe we would have been there we do have a division in the Netherlands!

[@darahenneke3846]

I wish you’d make a Bobbinator for the M series size bobbin. I’d love to finish out bobbins from my longarm on my sewing machine.

[@WonderFilThreads]

We've heard this a few time! Always making note of new things people are looking for!

[@stephiepeterson]

See you in Grand Rapids next weekend!

[@4cecil9]

Are the bobbins available to "return' & replace for a fee< of course? as Soda Stream cannisters are available to return & replace. thank you.

[@MariaWalter-m2h]

Hello! I'm going to use the decobob prewound bobbin in my Janome longarm. Is there a "tension range" for the bobbin (ie 180-200) I should be looking for when setting my bobbin tension? I'll be using Wonderfil Masterquilter as my top thread. Very informative video! Thanks so much!

[@jerriestep8318]

You said this isn’t affected by heat so can this go in the microwave or be used for potholders or microwave bowel cozies? Things that all cotton is normal used.

[@nahidhussain3814]

Can the the Deco Bob prewound bobbins work in a Bernina Q24 long arm machine?

[@jerriestep8318]

What threads do you recommend for sergers and how best to use them? Just got a serger and want to use some heavier threads just not sure which ones.

[@WonderFilThreads]

We have a spot on our site where thread is organized by use you can view here shopwonderfil.ca/serger-threads

[@WonderFilThreads]

For heavier threads dazzle is a great choice as it is an 8wt! So very thick, and will really stand out with its shiny finish

[@karenelizabeth8404]

What weight and type would you recommend for sewing knits?

[@WonderFilThreads]

We would recommend Designer for knits! It is a all purpose polyester thread. It has more stretch to it, so works great for seams and is very durable. If you are serging on knits you can also use SoftLoc, which has more stretch but cannot be used in standard sewing just serging!
