Ruthie/Raels you were talking about airplane thread cards. What exactly are they? What are they & why so special? Is it just the obvious to put thread on while flying??? This is new to me.

clawton, they are for embroidering seat covers for airplanes - only kidding sweetie, haha ROFL!!! There's not much I can tell you, I've never used them, and don't know much about them. You can have a look at the site I posted for raels if you like (see link below). She was the one who wanted them, and as far as I know they are for hand-embroidery. You'll have to wait until raels answers for more info. Sorry I don't know any more than that. Hugs and a flower sweetie.

Thanks
You really woke me up this morning with that one!
OK - now I think I now what that is. I have one of the color cards from RA - this was included when I bought several spools of thread from Shopper's Rule. It helps when you are buying thread online, as it is actual samples of thread, and not just a color. Is that right? This site appears to be a card for korean hi-speed commercial machine thread.

Oh, you gals! Here I thought it was the name of a thread company in Australia, and Raelene was asking for a card of sample thread colors. Boy, I really made myself laugh on this one! I do like the idea, Ruthie, of flying somewhere and secretly embroidering the back of the plane seat in front of you--sort of embroidery "Kilroy was here", hee hee hee. All you young'uns, you'll have to look up WWII history for that one. Luvs youse, Marji

I guess I didn't see the original question so something got lost along the way when I read Ruthies response.

Thanks Ruthie. Marji was correct it is a brand of thread. I went to the site Ruthie gave & here is what I got in a nut shell- a very high quality Korean rayon embroidery thread used for high speed embroidery.
