Thread Blender for use on sergers or standard sewing machines. Create beautiful decorative stitches using various thread combinations.

Instructions:
Assemble the Thread Palette by placing on a solid surface. One by one twist the pegs firmly into the four outside holes of the palette. Place your thread palette on the thread stand of the upper looper of your serger. Place your first spool of thread onto one of the palette pegs with the notched side down and thread it through your serger using the pull thru method. Add another spool to the thread palette. Tie the new thread to one that is already threaded - and pull or sew the knots through the machine. Tie each additional thread to one - not all - of the threads (keeping the knot small will usually allow the sew through method) Starting with a trial project is recommended. Experiment with a variety of thread combinations using a standard three thread stitch until you are comfortable enough to move on to a more substantial project. You may also want to try rolled edges -pin tucks - edgings - and flatlock stitches.
