I am a beginner at both…and would love to try working with the Sulky threads…winning them would just be the icing on the cake! Thank you for all the tips and a chance to win!
Wanda
I consider myself a beginner at FMQ and intermediate at appliqué. I’m enjoying both.
Peggy Saia
I have just started to learn how to quilt with my machine. I have used it mostly for sewing clothes and crafts. The only appliqué I have done is with a purchased pattern for the embroidery.
Tonya
I too love my Sulky threads!!!! I am a beginner when it comes to the FMQ on my machine but use my longarm for most of my quilting. I love applique and consider myself an intermediate in that area. Love following your blog posts.
Phyllis McCord
I am definitely a beginner in both areas. I’m more experienced in piecing and hand and machine embroidery – and I still use and love Sulky thread. I’ve used rayon threads for a long time because I didn’t know about the rumours!
Susan
Definitely a beginner at free motion quilting and maybe advanced beginner at machine embroidery. I do love the Sulky Threads as that is what my machine seems to love best!!
Karen McBrayer
Hi, I’d say intermediate on free motion and definitely beginner on machine applique.
Diana
I consider myself a beginner in both categories. I love sewing and recently bought a sewing/embroidery machine. I have always loved sewing! I started sewing doll clothes and animals by hand when I was a child. This machine has taken me to new depths of creativity! I would love using your products!
Theresa
A machine applique beginner, as I’ve only attempted it a couple of times, ages ago. As for machine quilting, intermediate some days, beginner on other days. I always practice and warm up on a scrap sandwich so I know if today’s a quilting day or not.
Kathie
I am most definitely a beginner on both free motion and applique!
Sandy
I hover in the middle of the road in both FMQ and MA. That is, until I encounter a new pattern and then I bounce back to beginner again. There is so much to learn and so many patterns to master! I would love to give the Sulky threads a spin in my machine! Love the sheen and all of the yummy colors!
JoAnn L
Advanced beginner 😉 on free motion and intermediate on machine applique.
Kathryn
I am an intermediate at free motion quilting, and at machine applique. I have a lot of giant spools of rayon embroidery thread (for use with my embroidery machine), but never tried it for free motion. Sounds interesting.
Brenda
I am probably a beginner at free motion quilting and intermediate in machine applique. Am learning more and more about FMQ.
Beth-Near Washington DC!
OoooooooooooooH a great thing to win… I am Intermediate at FMQ and Advanced in machine applique… and in addition I do Threadpainting… which the Rayon is particularly relevant for as well, especially the variegated colors. Talk about adding some sparkle and shine!
Ann
WOW what an awesome giveaway! Hi Lori! I am a free-motion quilting beginner and a formerly intermediate machine applique aficionado who hasn’t done it in awhile. Perhaps because I don’t have good/enough/pretty thread? I’ve moved a few times lately and not only has that disturbed/destroyed my (at one time growing) thread collection, I also happened to leave behind a very cool giant thread pegboard that my dad made me years ago…now, you know it wasn’t fancy – just dowels in a board and easily recreated – but it’s one of those things I look back on and think “why?” about. I guess everybody has those regrets…funny that mine’s about a thread board! You would be surprised at how often I think of that!
Clarice Dean
Hello and thank you for hosting this question. I would consider myself a beginner at free motion quilting, but I’m improving with every stitch! But perhaps intermediate with machine applique. I got a lot of experience with applique when I did the machine appliques on a monster quilt for my grandson. I just stopped practicing and jumped right into a BIG project. I love Sulky too. And, it is nice that I can drive to JoAnn for Sulky thread if I need a new color fast. So many people say only quilt with cotton thread, but I started using decorative threads…….they just look great. No plain white cotton thread for me! Boring!
Judy
I am somewhere between a beginner and intermediate free motion quilter. I know I need to practice more! I do not do very much machine applique, so I am a beginner. Very glad to have found your blog, and thank you for sharing your talent and creativity.
Donna W
I would say that I am a beginner at both. But, I have been practicing my FMQ. Thanks for your great tutorials which are great inspiration
thimble
A beginner in FMQ and intermediate in machine appliqué, LOVE the sheen when using the satin stitch!
Nancy Ensor
I consider myself to be between beginner and intermediate on both counts. I do LOVE doing both and frequently use Sulky rayon thread. I especially love the Blendables!
Susi Norwood
I’m a beginner at FMQ, but intermediate to advanced on applique (I’ve been sewing for 45 years!) Your site is my favorite for learning and practicing new moves! and I refer to your site for ideas very often!!!
Kate
I’m a beginner on appliqué and maybe intermediate on free motion quilting…learning more and more all the time! Love your blog!
Dinah
I would say I’m advanced in these categories. However, there is ALWAYS room to grow and learn new techniques and methods 🙂 Great giveaway!
Donna
I am an beginner at free motion-but working hard not to be! I’m intermediate with applique LOVE your blog, it’s the first thing I check each morning ,thanks for sharing.
Kathy
As far as free motion quilting, I’m not sure I even want to call myself a beginner. I took a class and was told I could use my existing machine to do a king size quilt. Really??? The whole thing just escapes me.
As to machine applique, I’m probably somewhere between a beginner to an intermediate. I usually use Sulky Blendables for this and for attaching the binding to my quilts.
But by looking at you blog, I may now consider using Sulky for some of my hand embroidery in addition to or instead of the DMC threads. Thanks for the thought.
Pat Bennett
I am a beginner even though I TRY to free motion all of my small charity quilts. I feel its good practice. Maybe after about 10 more quilts I can say I am intermediate. As to applique, I think I have reached the intermediate level, since I have taken classes to improve my ability.
I would love to win the Sulky threads. I envision beautiful designs!
DebrafromMD
I would consider myself a beginner at free motion quilting and intermediate at machine applique.
Dana Robbins
I consider myself an intermediate in both free motion quilting and machine applique. The main thing that I need to improve on is statin stitching. I love the Sulky threads and have a small collection.
utahoosier
I would consider myself an intermediate machine quilter. I have recently started a little business machine quilting for other people (for pay). However, I do not believe I am in the advanced category. I have seen those quilts at the Home Machine Quilting Show and I am not there yet! 🙂
I am in the “confident beginner” machine applique category. I get it right, most of the time; but I don’t tackle the tough stuff!
Thanks so much for sponsoring the giveaway! I love your blog!!

Barbara
I am a intermediate at machine applique and advanced at free motion quilting.
Becky
I’m trying to BE a beginner at both free motion and applique. Just bought a new high end embroidery machine that is incredible, and am learning — that is re-learning to sew again! I learned originally (age 6) on my mother’s machine that was bought for her in 1949 or maybe even a couple years earlier. It has many attachments that are advanced, such as a ruffler! I still have the machine and it still works! I always made my clothes, and then clothes for my children when they were young. Now retired, I want to begin again with the wonderful techniques I keep seeing and reading about. I hope I win….I LOVE Sulky, and try to buy a bit at a time so I have many, many colors.
Barbara
I consider myself an intermediate free motion quilter and intermediate at machine appliqué although I been doing it for many years
sue
I am a sort of “experienced” beginner at FMQ and an intermediate applique-er. And my machine, too, loves Sulky threads.
Carolyn Calfee
I am a beginner free motion and machine quilter – just starting and I LOVE doing this. Want to complete some of the quilt tops I have pieced but never quilted. Sure could use thread – what a very nice give away 🙂
Edna Kidd
I am definitely a beginner, but I love The challenge. Thank you for the opportunity to win Sulky thread…
TonyaS
I am wanting to be a beginner machine quilter and an moving from a beginner to an intermediate machine embroiderer.
Tammy from quilt-pictures.com
I’ve been free-motion quilting for 6-7 years now, but would consider myself intermediate. I don’t really like machine applique, so I guess I’d be a beginner at that. Although I do enjoy the fusible applique technique with stitching the edges down.
TonyaSews
I am a beginning machine quilter and an intermediate machine embroiderer.
Kathryn
I’m a struggling intermediate FMQer. Most things turn out pretty well but I still haven’t found a comfort level that makes it fun. I’m also intermediate at machine applique. Love Sulky threads! Thanks for the opportunity to win some!
Sheila
I am a beginner at free-motion quilting as well as machine applique, but have used these sulky threads a few times on my quilt labels, and just love them. Thank you for the opportunity to win this beautiful collection, and for generously sharing your tutorials and expertise with us.
Georgia Huffman
I am most definitely a beginner for both! I have found that both challenge me…. And having won a trip to Houston’s international quilt show last October, I’ve decided the more I learn the less I know! And I am in agreement with you on using Sulky all the time!
Linda Koerner
I am definitely a beginner long arm and free motion quilter, I quilt and incorporate embroidery in my quilts, either by machine or hand, I am amazed at how easy you make it look!
I love Sulky threads! And have used them in my valor quilts to give away, the sheen is spectacular!
Linda

I am definitely a beginner at Free Motion Quilting. And a major scaredy-cat.
Much better at machine applique, but barely intermediate.
Denise Mitchell
I would consider myself as an Intermediate to both.
Jan
I consider myself somewhere between beginner and intermediate in both appliqué and machine quilting.

Virginia
I’m a beginner free motion quilter and intermediate at machine applique.
Brenda S
‘Morning! I would say I am a intermediate FMQ-er and beginner applique-er. I’ve been dabbling in “painting” the fabric instead. Just this past weekend I pulled out some Sulky rayon, because my cotton was being rather non-cooperative…boy, the Sulky rayon sure made my Sunday happier!
Karen J.
Definitely beginner in free motion quilting, but intermediate in applique.
