Thank you! I even called the quilt shop where I bought it and they didn't know how to use it....but they sold it to me<lol>!! Now I'll go start that blouse for the doll. Thanks again. Pam

It's called Chimize thread. I have used it my bobbin and top thread, both plain and decorative stitches, and even done sashiko embroidery with it for quiltsquares. Then you iron it (I use a very thin press cloth to protect my iron from things that melt and stick) and it shrimks up to 30% depending on weight of fabric.
I works best with thinner fabric like lawn. Would be fun for doing childrens' clothes. I'm not sure is that useful for quilting.

I have to say that I like the thread better than the texture magic. Plus it's a lot cheaper. It would be great for the center of a flower. Thanks everyone. I appreciate your help. Pam
