How to become a blog "follower!"

Thanks for stopping by Fabrique's newest venture...an advice blog! Some of our best customers are having difficulty becoming a blog follower. Blogger.com is part of Google Friend Connect, which is a great socializing network created to allow people from all walks of life to connect and share their blogs. To become a part of Google Friend Connect, it is required that you have either a Google, Yahoo, AIM, or OpenID email account. So, for instance, if you have an e-mail account such as johnsmith@hotmail.com or janedoe@sbcglobal.net then you don't have instant access to Google Friend Connect. But all you have to do is simply sign up for a FREE e-mail account with Google, Yahoo, AIM, or OpenID. But, remember, regardless of your e-mail account you can always read the blog. If you have any questions that you would like for us to address in the blog, and you would rather not become a "follower," please feel free to e-mail us directly at the store: info@fabriquefabrics.com.

Poly Thread vs. Silk Thread

Thread is the most basic, and usually most overlooked element when sewing. Yet it is literally the one thing that holds your work together! There is some debate as to whether a polyester or a silk thread works best when constructing your garments. Polyester thread is above and beyond the best kind of thread to work with due to several characteristics that a man-made fiber can provide. It has more flexibility and stretch than silk which is best when sewing fashion, because as the body moves the thread needs to give and take with each movement. Polyester thread is also stronger. You will notably notice very little fraying or breaking. Silk thread is limited in color choice whereas the range of color availability in polyester is nearly endless. At Fabrique! we believe that the best polyester brand thread available is Mettler, and it is the only type of thread that we carry. Mettler runs easily and cleanly through your machine and will leave very little fiber residue for you to clean up later. Have any questions for us? Please post, and we'll do the best we can to answer!
