WOWOWWWWWW

I found my glow-in-the-dark thread---Moonglow by Robison-Anton---I think I got it through Superior Threads--It only breaks in the machine when I do something STUPID!!!!!! It glows after a VERY SHORT exposure to light---but one thing I learned after stitching out names for my TOPS group on felt---
DO NOT put your iron directly on the thread if you want to steam and smooth out your project----the thread/item will STICK TO YOUR IRON-----I did not ruin the project BUT I did learn to put a cloth UNDER THE IRON on top of the stitched out item--then there are NO problems---the thread is great---I can hardly wait to get more!!!!
Thanks to all the suggestions from Cuties. God bless Y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!

If and when I can figure out how to download pics from my phone I will put them on here. It was so much fun stitching with good thread and seeing the ladies at my TOPS meeting see their names!!!!!!!!!!!!! The one I IRONED and learned my lesson---o well. Thanks and God bless you.

I did names on felt for my TOPS group and was going to steam the wrinkles out with the steam iron---I couldn't figure out where the felt went when I lifted the iron---got really upset----REALLY????????????---looked on the bottom of the iron--and uhoh---there it was---It had not TOTALLY melted--but it does not light up like the part that did NOT melt----learned a lesson---if in doubt---use a press cloth. Thanks and God bless you.

Wish we could see the item, but have to guess what it would be like. Have to buy some to try i think. Sandra.

I stitched out some FSL bats last night in the glow in dark thread. They shine for a few minutes. Really cool. Still working on getting some pics. I stitched out names from the built in machine fonts for my TOPS group---will try and get them on here. Ladies were happy when I gave them out to go with their purple project buckets!!! Thank you and God bless you.
