4 MachineTalk Threads Brisbane Craft & Quilt Fair Thanks to all our customers both old and new who came to see us and the team at the recent Brisbane Craft & Quilt Fair. Thanks to all our team who put in an amazing effort during the show, and we include Zora, who, whilst not in the photo, played a huge part in keeping the store running smoothly during the show. We appreciate all those who helped during showtime at the store and would like to thank you all for being so generous with your time and goodwill. What do the numbers mean? This is one of the most asked questions that we get when it comes to threads. All threads have a "Weight". This is normally shown as a # number. The most common weight system specifies the length of the thread in kilometres required to weigh 1 kilogram. Therefore, a greater weight number (indicated in the American standard by the abbreviation wt) indicates a thinner, finer thread. Tex is the mass in grams of 1,000 meters of thread. If 1,000 meters weighs 25 grams, it is a tex 25. Larger tex numbers are heavier threads. Tex is used more commonly in Europe and Canada. A denier weight specification states how many grams 9,000 meters of the thread weighs. Unlike the common thread weight system, the greater the denier number, the thicker the thread. The denier weight system, like the common weight system, also specifies the number of strands of the specified weight which were wrapped together to make the finished thread. Source: Wikipedia Winners & Displays To all our customers and friends who entered quilts into the Queensland Quilters Quilt show, we say congratulations on a great job well done. Special mention to Katie Hamill who was a first time entrant in the show in the secondary student category. Well done Katie..., you should be very proud of your achievement and keep up the great work. Congratulations to all our customers who won ribbons and awards at this year's show. We would be especially pleased to see them at our next club day, so that our River City Club members can take a closer look at your amazing achievements. Sneek Peek of Classes begin January 2018

8 Quota International Craft & Quilt Fair Carindale Upgrades - October 2017 Dream Machine Premium Pack II RRP $389 V Series Premium Pack II RRP $149 A great day was had a the Quota International Carindale Craft & Quilt Fair. Thanks to Brother we were able to provide a sewing machine as a prize to assist with their fundraising efforts. The lucky winner was Robyn S. Our very special thanks to the ladies from Coorparoo Quilters who once again came along to encourage quilting in our community. Their display of charity quilts was a big hit and brought attention to the many charities who benefit from the hard work of the Coorparoo Quilters. New Wide Backs Backing Fabrics We have added some incredible new backing fabrics to our range. They are extremely good quality fabric and some would be excellent to use as background fabrics for your embroidery projects as some of them have a slightly mottled background. At 2.8m wide, they offer great value in good quality, long lasting fabrics. Worth a look... Thank you for your continued support of our small family business.
