when i went to the quilt show last year they had glow in the dark theard which i think is such a great idea....so since im working on my daugthers room and ordering the fonia fabric...(thanks again ladies for helping me find it) but i thought i could quilt in with glow in the dark thread......has anyone tired the glow in the dark fabric? did you like it? and did you have any problem with it?
Will it scare the kids to see their bed glowing at night?
no lol i hope not
I've been using glow in the dark fabric paint & tape on my nieces & nephs quilts for some time now. They love em. But...no scary monsters....yet. I've never tried glow in the dark fabric or thread. But only b cuz I've never seen either.
I think the glow in the dark thread would be great for a Halloween quilt.
One drawback might be that all your crooked sewing lines show up at night thought!
My one year old got a pair of pajamas given to him and I never noticed before that they were glow in the dark, so one night I laid him down and I thought I was losing my mind. My infant was glowing.... I called my husband and we just stood there in the dark staring at him for a minute, then it dawned on us that it was his jammies!
Honestly, I'm crying reading one post and laughing over another! Joe says if he didn't know better he'd think I was pregnant. (I'm sure most Mom's can relate to the emotional rollercoaster ride during pregnancy!) I'm picturing walking into a dark room. The bed is glowing when all of a sudden ET steps out of the closet! Actually, the crooked seams might add to the mood! If you like space cartoons that is!!!
I think glow in the dark would be great for a child's quilt or a halloween wall-hanging. I can see a ghost outlined in glow in the dark thread. boooooooooooooo!
I'm six months pregnant and when I saw the baby glowing I just stood there and thought, "Am I really seeing this? Better get a second pair of eyes... GOOOOOORD"Quote:

Hello fellow quilters,
Has anyone used the "glow in the dark thread"? Am curious to see if it works....would it lose its "glow" after washings?
I bought some at the Paducah show, but haven't used it yet. I looked at the spools, and they are glowing in the dark.
Sounds like fun to me.
I have used the embroidery thread that glows in the dark - it was on Halloween projects. They looked pretty cool! Hadn't thought of using it to quilt with - the embroidery thread version was pretty expensive when I bought it, but that was a few years ago....I say go for it!
Jean, have you tried out the conductive thread that you got at Paducah?
I used a solar embroidery thread on a quilt a month ago. Turned out really cute. I've read they do lose their "potency" after a while.
sounds cool, I would go for it
I have used glow in the dark threads before and they are awesome. My son has actually designed a christmas runner for me to make. It will be several giant outdoor type lights and I will FMQ the bulbs with the color they are so they glow. should be interesting.
Not yet, i need to get the LEDs that go with it.Quote:
