DMC Memory Thread Show-and-Tell
Tuesday, May 3, 2011
DMC’s Color Infusions Memory Thread, a flexible wired thread wrapped in a soft fiber, is a fast becoming a favorite among stitchers, and we are releasing several new colors soon! I’ll keep you posted on their release.
Meanwhile I wanted to show you an awesome before and after shot of a project that features Memory Thread.
Check out this stitched flower project.
On the left side of the frame you will see the basic design which has been stitched on Aida cloth in Half Cross Stitch using Pearl Cotton Variations.
On the right side of the frame you see the same design, but it has been embellished with Memory Thread.
What a difference some couching makes! To learn how, to couch, watch our video on YouTube.
You can stitch a similar project by printing this freebie pattern!
Here at DMC we’ve all been having fun creating projects with Memory Thread, and sharing what we’ve learned with other stitchers.
Rosana, one of DMC’s talented staffers (left, in the red sweater), recently taught a Memory Thread demonstration at The Nimble Needle, a local needlework shop in Haddonfield, New Jersey that was celebrating the opening of their new location.
As you can see from the photos, the demo was a hit! More of the demonstration and the opening of the new location can be seen on their blog.
Even the town’s mayor turned out for the ribbon-cutting event, proving once again that needlework is a common thread that binds folks together.
Enjoy!

Wow! This looks liek an amazing product. I’ll have to see if I can get some in Australia and use it in one of my designs soon.
I just posted a tutorial on a Memory Thread dragonfly I used in a project. http://moonsilk-stitches.blogspot.com/2011/05/memory-wire-dragonfly.html
