It was new to me too Loralye, we were sewing on a tent so was searching for upholstery thread when I discovered it just last week. So that was exactly what I needed.

360410Your chairs look fantastic! I think to colours were meant to be or was it devine intervention that gave you the same colours in ottmans you could always embroider on 2 headrest doilys..
45917These cushions you've made look lovely. Wondered did you use a printed pattern or did you make one? Thanks for sharing your work. :~D
6951Nicely done, makes a great set. I wonder how you did that seam to divide the seat and back parts, could you manoeuvre the cushion under the needle? I need to cover my dilapidated cushions but don't know if I could do that seam in the middle, so I am procrastinating.

I did an envelope style case first then the fold is a crease so I just followed the line slowly I folded the seat in half & held it in place with jumbo pegs. I hope that this helps Thanks Martine, ~hugs~

Who carries outdoor thread, and what is it made of? My cushions looked bad last year and I've been too lazy to redo them or buy new yet.

well I am not sure what I can tell you but this is what it says on the thread: Coats Outdoor Polyester. It is quite a heavy thread & it feels like it has been coated with something? It was on sale but I'm sorry I can't remember what it cost? I did get it @ JoAnn's if that helps you @ all? Anyway my cushions looked really gross & now they look brand new lol worth it for me anyway

I bought outdoor thread too, at walmart, I didn't know they had it, it's 4.97 a spool at our store. It's the coats and clark brand. Colors were pretty basic, off white, green red and navy , walmart.com may have it.
