Re: Dastardly nasty thread

Not a bad idea Madame Butterfly. May try that when I get a chance.

Piggybacking once again.

Sharon,
Write the company and enclose the thread you started using. I'd let them
know you received it as a gift so you couldn't tell them where it was
purchased. You'd figure a well-known company like DMC would want to stand
behind their product..it will be interesting to see what they say and do.

It might be 'dry rot'. Ran into that once when I was working at a
LQS.......brand new thread TO US from a well-known company. Seems the
supplier sent us thread that had already been 'returned to them' because
of that problem. They rectified the situation very quickly both with the
store and customer.

Butterfly (Sure appreciate when those of you keep the original posts :)

Hmmmm. Most peculiar, Sharon. Before we storm the gates of DMC and give
them a whack on the nose, let's take a look at your DSM who 'loves a
bargain' and your SM. Could it be that DSM bought the thread at a great
discount because it had survived being buried away somewhere for many
years? or could it be that your SM is being cantankerous? I'm not a
card-carrying member of the DMC fan club but they are usually reliable.

What a shame. DMC are a big name in the stranded cotton/floss world,
the sort you'd use if you were doing cross stitch. I don't think I've
ever seen any of their cotton threads and from what you've said maybe
there's a good reason for that!

My DSM who loves a bargain gave me some gorgeous threads for christmas
year before last. Beautful colours, some variegated, some plain -
about 12-15 spools. States on the label it's all cotton, 100% genuine
cotton. Made in France.

Yeah right!

It is branded "DMC" and since I vaguely recall hearing about them I
figured it'd be good. Went to do some sewing with it the other night
and snap - it broke off. Threaded up again, few stitches later -
kerplunk. Broken again. Changed reels. Same deal. Finally chose a
third reel of the stuff and pulled the thread - snap. Pulled again -
snap. This stuff is weaker than me in a chocolate shop.

I think it is now doomed to sit in my cupboard forever. Such beautiful
beautiful colours but totally useless.
