Well, it turns out I didn't have enough of either, so I had to lay in some resources. In the meantime, my iron started causing me trouble, so I decided to replace it as well with one that doesn't produce steam.
Here are the results.
The silly thing was, all of her sets only com in 200 meter long spools. That's nothing when you talk about embroidery patterns, which can consist of thousands or tens of thousands of stitches.
So I set about composing a set of threads from Fadenversand. I tried to match similar shades to those of Pia's, but in the 800 meter spools instead. Those are the threads in the picture. Nice, huh?
Those two books are great as well, but I'll tell you about those some other day.

Shopping for thread colors is one of the best things about embroidery. I use to carry a little list around that had all colors and which ones I had checked off. It was fun to just stop in at a store and pick up a couple of spools of new colors. So glad you are having fun with your new Bernina!!
