I absolutely LOVE using decobob 80wt thread for my applique and English Paper Piecing projects. This thread is strong but so fine that all my stitches appear nearly invisible – the result we are all looking for.
This is one of my own quilts where it was perfect to use! For both the EPP and applique! (Pattern published in Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine in 2016) Cathedral Garden
At the time I didn’t have pre-wound bobbins on hand, only some colours on Decobob cones. But now I have got a great range of pre-wound bobbins in boxes of 24 bobbins of each colour that I use in my longarm machines with no stress on having to wind my own anymore and get consistent tension with these very reliable bobbins.
So having all these on hand I can simply grab a bobbin and take with me for hand work when away or at night in front of the television –Â super easy right! But most don’t need or want to purchase a box of TWENTY FOUR of the same colour duh.
Introducing Decobob PREWOUND Tubes in 2 variations
Master Applique set and the Neutrals tube for only $25 a tube for 10 size M bobbins in a handy dandy clear tube with a secure screw top lid.


These 2 selections are in stock now. BUT I’m happy to create new TUBES on demand if stock is on hand.
Build your own dream Decobob Tube that makes your life easier for your next handwork project. Or for your next smaller machine quilting project to use in your machine. Size M bobbins only.
Email me your wish list of 10 bobbins to personalise your selection. You might even get a ‘Tube’ created permanently on the website.
Another NEW handy gadget to hold your needles safely and close to where you are working is my
Needle Spot 
Have you ever struggled to find your self threading needle or those small tools, scissors and pins that always seem to be hiding when you need them???  This is the solution for you!
The powerful (and pretty!) magnetic surface acts as a needle minder to keep your needles and scissors firmly in place while you work and can be attached to any smooth, nonporous surface such as your sewing machine, table, LED table light or other items. The nano tape adhesive on the back allows it to be moved multiple times without leaving any residue. If the tape loses its tackiness just wash/dry and it will be sticky again. I’ve attached my Constantine Quilts logo sticker to the front to remind you where you can get all your machine quilting needs!
Magnets are safe for computerized sewing machines. It’s been said it would take a magnet the size of an automobile to damage a machine. If you’re still leery you can attach the magnet to another smooth surface close to your machine. Read more about magnets and sewing machines here
These make GREAT small gifts for quilty friends or crafters’ or for retreat gifts and are only $6 each!
Until next time – happy quilting
