I'm new to sewing, got my machine about a year and a half ago. I love it, have made loads of things. I've been timid when it comes to buying thread however because I couldn't work out why some are thick and some are thin. I only knew I wanted thin for my tasks so I've always had to buy thread in person so I could be sure of getting what I want. The thread I've been using is Guntermans and this morning as I was online getting some snaps I browsed the thread section longingly and went and had a look at my thick and thin threads again, for the millionth time. ALL this time I finaly saw that the thin plastic is cream coloured and the thick (what I now know is top stitch thread!) Is freakin GREEN. HOW COULD I NOT HAVE SEEN THIS???!!!
Please tell me I'm not alone in taking far, far too long to work or a really simple thing!
