[Oceanwavequilters] Fw: FREE Thread, Needles, Tension seminar via Zoom on May 4 via zoom

Tue Apr 28 15:04:49 PDT 2026

Fellow OWQers:
See the information below about a free Zoom class on Thread Mastery on May 4th at 4 pm Pacific Time. 
I have taken Bob’s class before and it is WELL WORTH THE TIME! If you’d like to know more about thread, I encourage you to sign up!
Bob used to own Superior Thread and now owns YLI Thread. He is an excellent speaker (and tells good jokes). 😁

| I never charge for teaching. So far this year, I have taught 34 Thread Mastery seminars.   
   - 18 via Zoom to quilt guilds and 16 in-person at quilt shows.
   - The seminars average 45 minutes plus Q&A. 
   - 55 more seminars are currently scheduled for 2026 and 2027. 
My goal isn't just to talk about thread or sell thread. My goal is to help you be more successful in your quilting and sewing. I am confident that I can solve 99% of thread/needle/tension issues and explain and debunk many quilting-related myths.   
   - Is the thread breaking, fraying, or shredding? I can fix that.
   - Is the thread excessively linty? I can fix that. 
   - What's the shelf life of thread?
   - How to tell if Grandma's thread is OK to use.
   - and so much more. 
We're offering a FREE seminar on May 4th at 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) via Zoom. The Zoom limit is 300 participants. 
Here is the Zoom Link:Topic: Thread Mastery with Bob Purcell
Time: May 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM Mountain Time

Click to Join --- Bob Purcell has been in the thread, quilting, and sewing industry for nearly thirty years. He and his wife started and built one of the most successful specialized thread companies in the world. They sold that company in 2016, with the intent of enjoying retirement life with family and grandchildren. Several years later, Bob, who has no hobbies other than work and grandchildren, realized that retirement wasn’t for him. He bought Y.L.I. Threads, a company with a 45-year history in the quilting, embroidery, and sewing world, is once again doing what it loves—educating the quilting and sewing communities and supplying the best products. Eleven new lines of the highest-quality quilting and sewing threads have been introduced in the past two years, with more in the works. |

| This Joke Will Leave You in Stitches

| I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passersby what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later, and with whom. I give them selfies and pictures of my family, my dog, and of me gardening... I also listen to their conversations, give them the "thumbs up," and tell them I like them. And it works just like Facebook. I already have four people following me: two police officers, a private investigator, and a Psychiatrist. |

| If you have a question about threads, needles, tension, pickleball, etc., feel free to submit it here. Many quilters and sewists share the same curiosities, so we’ll keep the conversation going in our weekly newsletter.
