I currently use the mettler metrosene plus 100% polyester thread that my bernina dealer recomended for use with my machine. Do you know how it compares to that? I would be upset to if it would rip & shred. That is such a great price & such pretty colors! Thanks for your help!

I had tried doing many hand projects in the past while waiting, but the applique always seems to complicated to do in the car or at a Starbucks table. The YoYo's are the most portible project I have found. I made a sewing tool box and I take it with me wherever I go! I have made a good 250 so far. I love them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-39578436408177379462011-07-06T11:01:24.956-05:002011-07-06T11:01:24.956-05:00Oh I just love yo-yo's!!!

One for my mom with 2500 yo-yo's and one for my odest son with 2000 yo-yo's. Now I am slowly working on another one for my youngest son, which will have 2000 in it too, can' make a difference in the boys!
