As an educator for WonderFil Specialty Threads, Nina has learned a lot and she wants to share! Thread is like candy!  Sometimes you just can't get enough...LOL!  When we purchase thread it's usually the color we buy, or the thread the shop carries.  In this lecture you'll learn about the different weights of thread and why they make a difference.  Ply, why is that important?  Specialty threads like metallic, monofilament, tinsel threads - how do we work with them?  Why do metallics give us issues?  This lecture is FULL of information you'll be thrilled you know now!

Traveling and teaching are two of my favorite things. My most favorite thing in life is
meeting new, wonderful quilters! Quilters are the most caring, sharing, loving, generous
people of any "group" known! I look forward to meeting you!

My family:
I've been blessed to be married to an AMAZING man since 1987! Howard is my soulmate! We've given each other the same Anniversary cards, same Christmas presents, same Valentine cards...it's super funny, and total confirmation! He supports and encourages me in my teaching and anything else I do! He's learned a LOT about quilting and can now give an educated opinion.

We have 2 WONDERFUL children! Our oldest is our daughter and she got married in October 2016! They've given us 2 BEAUTIFUL grandsons, whom we ADORE!!! Our son is a Marine, and he just married a wonderful young lady February 2020. We CAN'T leave out our 2 cats! Each is a rescue we found and gave a home to - Hershey, and Lexi. They follow us around the house and are ALWAYS in the room we're in! Sweet things! (BUT...you WON'T find them in my sewing room!)
