Hollis Chatelain Recommendation

Our congratulations to Hollis for being honored at last night's award ceremony at the 2009 IQA, Houston. She is the winner of the $5,000 Master Award for Thread Artistry for her quilt "Protection." Hollis also won first place in the Art-Painted Surface Category for her quilt "Exodus."

From Hollis:
"Superior Threads keeps up with the trends in the quilting world."
Why do I like Superior Threads? They are very clean and smooth threads that don't mess up my machine. They don't break. They blend wonderfully with the fabric. Also, I don't have tension problems with them and they feed well off of the spools.

I was pleased with the products Superior Threads sent me. Soon after, they asked if I would be interested in designing a new line of threads with colors that I had not been able to find on the market. Within five months, the new line of thread called Living Colors, was on the market. That was totally impressive. I have just completed designing my next line of thread, called Nature Colors, with Superior Threads. This set contains 50 beautiful colors found in nature and are designed for art quilting and embroidery.

Superior Threads has been easy to work with and has been patient with me asking for new types and colors of threads. They were very clear in stating that Superior will not put a new product on the market until it has been thoroughly tested and is of "superior" quality.

Something else I like about Superior Threads is that if anyone has a problem with the way the thread feeds through the machine, breaking, or whatever else can go wrong while sewing, they can call the company and immediately talk with someone who can and will help with the problem.
Thread companies, in my experience, have not been easy to work with, so it is wonderful to find a company that not only makes a great product, but knows about threads, listens to customers, is open and willing to develop new products in a timely manner, and keeps up with the trends in the quilting world.

Sincerely,
Hollis Chatelain
