April 26, 2008 :: Hi Marion, It turns out that my mallet wrapping works best with the Tuff Cord. The music store that sells my mallets commercially really likes how they turned out! Thanks for all your help. I will be sending you a picture soon so you can see what they look like. My mallet company, Mallet Masters started as a re-wrapping business (making old mallets as good as new!), and my website still reflects that aspect of the business. It can be found at malletmasters.home.att.net During Memorial Day weekend my webmaster will be updating the site to include my mallet manufacturing as well. My entire manufactured mallet line (5 types of yarn mallets, 4 types of cord mallets, 3 types of felt timpani mallets, and 5 types of unwrapped mallets) is sold exclusively in the Northern KY/Southern IN region at Conrad Music Service ( www.conradmusicservice.com ), and directly from me for other regions. Thanks again for your assistance in everything! SV/Mallet Masters Occasionally I get request for thread, order for single spools are sent, additional samples are sent and finally the right thread is found. For some it is a question of finding the right color, for others the quality of the thread is the main concern. Master Mallets for examples tried all the brands until they found the right ones for them! - Marion

March 24, 2008 :: Dear Marion, I got yesterday afternoon the package (C-Lon Bead Cord) and I found the shipping amazingly quick! I was so much expecting these threads. It's been months that I am planning to buy cords for micro macrame and now within one week from buying it online - I already got them!
When I opened the package, It was such a joy to see these wonderful colors. I must say I am very happy with this transaction. All along. Your site is beautiful and very comfort to use. I liked the way it's presented. I also appreciate the way everything is done easily, clearly and nicely ( a. e. the colorful printed chart with the threads samples of the new CLC colors). Well done and I hope to come back again, from JK/Israel

February 19 , 2008 :: Hi Marion, I use the C-Lon Bead Cord and just love it, but I don't know if anyone else has had this problem with the white color. I noticed after a while the cord seems to have a yellowish cast to it. I ordered a new one and it's white but the older one I have is not as white anymore. Do you know what could be the problem? Thanks SG/Minnesota

My response: I just checked all the whites under OTT light as it is very overcast today. All the C-Lon White currently in stock have a slight yellow cast. My oldest C-Lon spool in my personal stock(1-2 years as I do not use a lot of white)is not yellower than the brand new ones for sale. Of all the thread for sale, from the whitest on: Conso is the whitest with no yellow cast at all, then Mastex with a light yellow cast, then a tie between Tuff Size 5 and C-Lon with a slight yellow cast. All this is not written into stone as dye lots change! ~ Marion

February 12, 2008 :: Thanks for the great service.. and products!!!! I added a picture of a bracelet I made with a color I ordered earlier!!! I also use it for making oboe-reeds!!! It would be great for bassoon-players as well. bye!! Marion J/Netherlands

September 14, 2007 :: No one does such a good job of presenting this wonderful silk and the colors available! (Kanagawa 1000 Denier Silk Embroidery Thread). You are so good at setting up the colors, it's like breaking a code, suddenly you can see the colors to their own advantage, as they should be seen! I truly appreciate this. The parcel arrived today! WOW! the colors look extra yummy - no. 28 and 59 are both unbelievably fantastic!! The quality of the silk makes them look unique, like precious minerals! I've decided what to photograph for your customer page! It isn't quite finished yet, so I need to stop writing and get on with it! I also love the scissors, and the needle-safe, which is very neat! The thread zapper is really great - we don't have anything like that in Denmark! Looking forward to returning to your site. - JM/Denmark (Bookmark done with Kanagawa Silk Embroidery Thread)

September 14, 2007 :: About a special order for earrings and neckpiece :: I received your package yesterday and the neckpiece and earrings are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to find the right stones. You do lovely work. My mother did macrame. Nothing to your quality but she did some nice pieces. She would have really enjoyed seeing your work. I look forward to seeing you again. Peggy/California

September 9, 2007 :: Hi Marion, I was SO thrilled to get my order so incredibly fast and so professionally packaged. I'm very impressed! Thank you. Kudos to you on a beautiful website business. Sincerely, Jackie/Vermont

August 7, 2007 :: Thank you for your quick shipping of the products that I ordered. I was very pleased with the whole transaction and the quality of the cords. It will be a pleasure to do business with you again. Best regards, - Michele/Minnesota

July 9, 2007 :: Dear Marion, I never got around to thank you for my last order. Everything arrived OK, although the first envelope arrived 2 weeks after you sent it, the 2 next envelopes around 2 weeks after that. They seem to have at lot of work in customs!.
I did finish the kits you sent me earlier, long ago. The Cabochon Brooch Kit did take some time, as I kept changing my mind about the colors to use. I made the flowerlets with a stitch used in bobbin lace, a kind of weaving stitch, I just love the texture of that stitch. The Kumuhimo Braid Kit took me a couple of try's to get absolutely perfect. The finished piece is much admired!
I hope you will make more kits, especially for those of us who unfortunately can't attend your workshops.
Thank you once again for the great amount of time and effort you put into those wonderful co lour charts, and the great care and attention you give to your costumers!
Kind regards, - MB/Denmark

May 29, 2007 :: Cord was received, and is perfect!!  Thank you very much!! - M/Illinois

May 14, 2007 :: Hello Marion! I picked up my package today, and I love everything, especially the bee's wax!
Thank you for all of your time, work and effort, Best Regards, - GV/Caribbean Islands

May 14, 2007 :: Marion-- Earrings arrived today.  They are lovely ... thanks so much!  - KL/Lafayette, CA

April 25, 2007 :: Dear Marion, The kit arrived today.  Thank you for rushing it to me.  You kit presentation is absolutely amazing!  And the colors are perfect.  Thanks for your prompt service.  And please keep me advised if you offer any other kits other than those you presently have on your website. - M. S./Illinois

March 28, 2007 :: Hi Marion, Nice to see a newsletter from you!  I love the colors and texture of the Mastex I received from you this week!  Thanks also for the samples.  I can feel that the '05 stock of Slate is silky like you said :)  I will be ordering some more colors soon.  I mentioned the frustration of the C~Lon cord curling up in my last e~mail to you and I am thrilled to read about this new remedy!  Can't wait to try it out since it often hinders me from using C~Lon.. especially if I get lazy about steam ironing it hehe.  Like yourself I am wondering why I didn't think of it too.  I have also been using sharp scissors to remedy the problem but I find that it removes the 'coating'. - FG/Arizona

March 8, 2007 :: The kit turned out beautiful!!! Many compliments and requests to 'teach' them how to do it. Gave them your website. Thank you! One of things I really appreciated was how clear your instructions are. I was surprised that I could finish it in only 2 evenings (I work full time) and it took that long only because I had to wait for the glue to dry. Thanks again, Marion, and I'm anxiously waiting for my next package...and your next book (I've already bought the other 2). - KBH/Florida

February 22, 2007 :: I have been searching for binding thread for my shakuhachi flutes for many years. I was very happy to have found Marion. Her selection of high quality threads out weights everything I've ever come across.
On top of that, her speedy shipping and general great vibe makes her a extreme pleasure to work with. I've found my source. - Perry Yung - Yung Flutes

I am amazed by the diversity of work that is being done with the thread I carry and look forward to adding a Perry Yung's sakuhashi to my husband flute collections!

February 15, 2007 :: Your work is so beautiful!  I have been making beaded micro macrame jewelry for about 10 years.  (I only found out this past year it was called micro macrame - I was just doing what I liked and experimenting).  I was using Omega Brand Nylon crochet thread #2 for years.  It has some challenges, and some advantages.  Then I discovered C-lon, and bought my first C-lon nylon cord from you.  I loved it so much, I just ordered some more from you.  It gives more body to the finished piece, and is easier to work with.  (For some of my designs, flexibility is desirable so I will continue to use the Omega for that).  Thank you for your customer service.  I wanted to show you a couple of the bracelets I recently made with the C-lon. - Donna L (Blog: Knotgypsy's Journey of Creation)

January 18, 2007 :: About samples sent :: Thank you Marion! The samples arrived last week. The fibers are wonderful but way too fine for my current projects. If I ever try knotted jewelry, these are definitely perfect. My favorite is the Mastex for "feel" and I'm curious about the fiber content and whether or not it is available in heavier weights. It's so hard to tell if a fiber is right for one's purposes without seeing the "real" thing, so I very much appreciate your sending the samples and will be keeping them for future reference as I particularly like fine work. - Lois/AZ

This will be the first time I'm using this heavier cord, and it's nice that it comes in so many colors. If it works for me I'll be back for more! :-)

September 1, 2006 :: Dear Marion, I cannot believe how fast my order arrived. I was delighted when I checked the mailbox before heading into work this afternoon and there it was! The only problem was that I still had to go to work... and I could not stay home and play with my new cord! Thank you so much for the exceptional customer service. It has been more than a pleasure to do business with you.
Blessings, - Linda
