Starr Fire Kit

I love using hand dyed fabrics in my quilts. For our STARR FIRE kit we worked together with Kathleen and Shelley (who just got married on May 30th) of Starr Design Fabrics to create a package that includes not only the pattern and fabrics, but the threads to use to piece and quilt with. So many have asked me what threads go best with different projects. This kit is an example of how we should be as selective in our thread choices as with any other part of coordinating our projects.


STARR FIRE
Designed by Heather Purcell (Mother Superior) and Annie Unrein.
This 68" x 88" quilt is specially designed to use Starr Design Fabrics' Starr Fire fabric pack, a group of twenty fat quarters in rich, vibrant colors.
By using the fabrics in the order in which they are stacked in the fabric pack, you will get a beautiful effect of graduated color. Use coordinating fabric yardage for the centers of the blocks, the sashing, outer borders, and binding.
Blocks are made by strip-piecing fabrics and then cutting wedge-shaped pieces from the strip sets. A special plastic template is included in the pattern to make this quick and easy.
kit includes:

• 20 hand-dyed fat quarters in vibrant, graduated colors


• 2-3/4 yards coordinating fabric for block centers, sashing, outer border, and binding.


• Starr Fire quilt pattern, special plastic template for cutting wedges.


• MasterPiece thread. 600 yds. x two spools. Mother Superior's recommended colors for piecing.


• King Tut 500 yds. x 2 spools. Mother Superior's recommended colors for quilting.

You will need also to add the following items: 5-1/2 yards of fabric for the back of the quilt and 75" x 94" of batting.
This entire Starr Fire kit is available on our web site HERE
On Sale for only $149.95. (Total value = $201.95. Save $52.00.)

Caryl Bryer Fallert's Recommendation

I was first introduced to Rainbows 40 wt. trilobal polyester threads a year ago. At that time, I was already using a 40 wt. polyester topstitching thread for most of my quilting. Although I couldn't imagine finding a better thread than the one I was using, I discovered that Superior's trilobal polyester is even stronger than the thread I was using. The quality is consistent and the colors are gorgeous. In the past, I seldom used variegated threads because the wide range of values in a single strand often caused unwanted visual breaks in a quilting pattern. Rainbows has beautiful color variation without the large jumps in value. This allows a pattern to flow, unbroken, even while the colors change.

I'm also in love with the lightweight Bottom Line threads. You can get much more thread on a single bobbin, and it doesn't build up a lot of bulk or leave big knots on the back of the quilt. The lightweight thread is also great for quilting on the top, when you don't want the thread to show very much or if you don't want to use monofilament. I also use it when I'm doing machine applique, because it leaves a very lightweight line around the applique and doesn't build up around the edge.

Superior's monofilament thread, MonoPoly, is the best. Although I use lots of invisible thread in my piecing, I have always had a love/hate relationship with it, because it broke so often. When I got my first spool of MonoPoly, I had a major deadline for photo quilt. The whole thing was quilted with MonoPoly, at full speed on my machine, and the thread never broke. It's a miracle!!!
Thanks for making this wonderful thread available.
Sincerely,
Caryl Bryer Fallert

Another Use for So Fine

We have discovered another good reason to use So Fine.
It's not just for quilting anymore . . . . . . . Superior Baby Avilyn who turns 6 months old on June 5th, recommends it for teething.

After all, Mother Superior has named a color after her.

Have you tried color #523 Avilyn?

So Fine is #50/3-ply lint-free, extra smooth polyester with a polished cotton look. It is wonderful for quilting, bobbin thread, clothing and craft construction, and general sewing. We are up to 134 lovely colors.

Meet Josh, Our New Warehouse Manager

Meet Josh Every, our Warehouse Manager.

Josh is returning to Superior Threads after being gone for two years while he pursued his education at Brigham Young University. Originally Josh worked in the warehouse, which gave him the experience to move into this new position. He's happy to be back. "I feel like working for Superior Threads is a good match for me," he said. "I love the management style here, where we have opportunity to expand our minds and grow."

Several things have changed while Josh has been gone. He brings back his wife of 1 year, Amber, who is again part of our office staff. Amber and Josh originally met while working at Superior Threads. (Most of us here knew it was a Superior match long before Josh realized it.) One major change Josh noticed upon his return was the growth of the company. "We are in a new building now, with an even larger addition under construction. Also, Superior has added so many new products. It's fun to be part of a company that is moving forward," he said.

"The best part of this job is that this company takes normal people and helps them accomplish extraordinary things. I believe in Superior Threads' top two business goals of providing the best service and offering the highest quality in product." he added.

One of Josh's goals as new Warehouse Manager is to create a team atmosphere. He will encourage his co-workers to become knowledgeable in every aspect of the warehouse and to realize that each order represents the group as a whole. "We are here to help one another." he said.

Josh carries his business philosophy into his personal life. He will be leaving in June for six weeks as a service volunteer to Africa. This will be Josh's 3rd trip to Africa (he really speaks a local tribal language) and he will be working with a program called Literacy for Social Change. "Our group will be going to a small village called Kwanibela, where we will meet with the people to help them improve their standard of living. We want to facilitate some ideas that will work within their culture, to help them generate some income through micro-financing opportunities.

"There are many good things to do in this world. My heart yearns for a way to give back." he said.

Welcome back to Superior Threads Josh. You are already contributing great things.
