Thread Zap II by the BeadSmith
I leave the battery loosened when not in use. It's fantastic for using on polyester thread. I've been using it a lot lately working with my gorgeous metallic threads for tree ornaments.

| New favorite Lizbeth thread size 40 Rainbow Taffy Pattern is from Kersti Anear's blog. |
Classic edgings in Lizbeth size 20, colors 696 and 655. Gifts for my aunts on our Virginia trip this summer.
Virginia was amazing. Look at the collar I found at the Museum of the Confederacy. The women smuggled these North to sell because there was no money in the South.

Love this post and I love that zapper I will have to get one I melt threads with match and on the stove for ribbons too! My favorite is the collar love historical stuff! and tatting that makes its way through time. I also have the same butterfly hankies but have not got round to tatting them :) and of course love the pattern and colors of the book mark too!
ReplyDeleteWhat does the thread zapper do? I googled it but it says it melts/burns the thread? Is this instead of sewing in the ends? do you like it? I might have to ask for one for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post!

ReplyDeleteI sew in the thread ends but I use the thread zapper instead of scissors ONLY ON POLYESTER THREAD OR METALLIC--sometimes in tricky spots it just gives that much extra security rather than glue.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments!
Wonderful edgings and very beautiful rainbow taffy flowers!!! :)
