Petite Very Velvet is one of Mary McGuire’s 10 Favorite Threads.
This week’s Midweek Chat is a new video Gary recorded with talented needlepointer Mary McGuire. In the video Gary and Mary discuss Mary’s 10 favorite threads and look at the effects they have in several needlepoint designs and painted canvases. Mary’s favorites are Petite Very Velvet, Impressions, Gloriana silks, Threadworx overdyed floss, Vineyard silk, Petite Sparkle Rays, DMC Floche, Watercolors and Wildflowers, DMC Perle Cotton, and Kreinik metallics. We hope you enjoy this thread exploration and will maybe identify one or two you’d like to try on your next project.–Christine and Gary
