I am excited to announce that Sew Karen-ly Created...will again be a host shop for the latest thread-ucation program from Aurifil thread.
Thread Labs 2.0 is the sophisticated successor to the inaugural
educational subscription offered last year. Building upon the foundational knowledge provided in
2023, the 2024 program will offer an intriguing exploration of techniques and
applications, guided by a distinguished team of educators. From July to
December, participants will engage in an immersive learning experience,
covering a diverse range of skills from FPP to Machine Quilting, through the
practical use of various Aurifil thread weights. Subscribers who participated in
Thread Labs 1.0 can expect a unique program experience with Thread Labs 2.0
with no repeats in either the product you receive or in the projects and
presenters.

What is the Aurifil Thread Labs 2.0 Subscription Box program?
Threads Labs is a monthly education subscription program running from July to
December 2024. Subscribers to the program will receive monthly thread
boxes. Over the course of the six months, you will gain all the necessary tools
to more confidently create with a variety of thread weights and techniques,
finishing the year inspired, armed with new skills and a wealth of knowledge.
How is Thread Labs 2.0 different than Thread Labs
1.0?
Thread Labs 2.0 builds on the educational foundation set by Thread Labs 1.0.
The program features six new educators highlighting custom curated ranges of
threads for 6 new projects. Boxes are focused on technique and on inspiring new
and creative use of Aurifil threads. There are no repeats and subscribers who
participated in Thread Labs 1.0 can expect a unique program experience with
Thread Labs 2.0.
I didn’t participate in Thread Labs 1.0… can I
still dive in to Thread Labs 2.0?
Yes, absolutely! Knowledge gained in Threads Labs 1.0 is not required for
success with Thread Labs 2.0. That said, if you’re interested in gaining
detailed knowledge of Aurifil’s history and a peek at the production process in
addition to an in depth thread education on available products, we’d highly
recommend looking into Thread Labs 1.0. which is now available as individual
boxes.
What is included in the boxes?
Each box will include a range of Aurifil threads relevant to that month’s
featured thread weight and technique along with access to a secure portal
containing education materials & projects, exclusive videos, a monthly
giveaway, and partner offers.
How long will content be available online?
Monthly secure online portals will remain active through June 30, 2025.
What is the cost of this program?
100% of the cost is for product included in the
box. The education portion of the box– along with any bonus assets– is fully
complementary and exclusive to subscribers. Sew Karen-ly Created
is happy to offer Thread Labs 2.0 for $110. per month for Canadian customers. We ship across Canada for a very reasonable (subsidized) flat rate, or you can pick up your threads in Amherst, Nova Scotia.
When will my boxes arrive?
Thread Labs 2.0 Subscription boxes will ship at the beginning of each month,
July – December 2024. Boxes SHOULD arrive to you by the 15th of each month.
How and when do we sign up?
Simply send an email as soon as possible stating your intention to
join. There is no registration fee, and no deposit required – just your
word.
Is there a sign up deadline?
Orders need to be submitted no later than Monday May 13. You may still join
after this date but your boxes may be delayed. All boxes are assembled by hand
and with care in the Aurifil offices.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations are possible with a 30 day notice. Example: You cancel your
subscription in mid-August. You will still receive and pay for your September
boxes, but will not receive your October boxes.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to be in touch. It's going to be a wonderful program!
