I just purchased a pattern for snap happy bags, by stitchin' sisters and it calls for bendable thread by sulky.
Do you feel that any thread would be alright?
Has anyone made these and if so what type of thread did you use?
Thanks for your input ;)

doesn't all thread bend?
i think you meant blendable- which would simply be recommended so it blends into the fabrics and doesn't stand out- like a contrasting thread would- but you can use any strong sewing thread you want...it's your project.

I am making them as gifts for Christmas. So far have 20 made. Love them. Am using fabric to match each persons personality. And some times I use contrasting thread, not blendable to make it more interesting.
