Season's Greetings

On behalf of Marathon Threads Canada, we'd like to wish all our clients a very happy holiday season. We will be open during the holidays with reduced hours.

Please don't forget to check out our website regularly as this is where you'll find out about our new products but I'll give you a little idea of what we will be carrying as of January 2009.

• Wonder Thread Guide.
• Totally eliminates tangling, twisting and thread pile ups.
• It works with all machines with spool holders - either horizontal or vertical.

Time flies when you're having fun

Has it been a month already? Wow, how time flies when you're having fun. I bet you're all wondering what we have been up to. Well we're keeping busy getting your orders ready. People tend to want to sew more in winter. I guess it's because it's simply too cold to stay outside too long. I sometimes pack orders so it makes me feel like Santa.

Our new metallic threads have been selling like crazy. We're so glad that you love our new colours.

We are thinking of bringing some new products in. One is Steam A Seam 2 Lite. We're wondering if this would be of interest to you. Lately, we've had some requests for a double sided stabilizer that is light and well this one would certainly fit the bill. We would sell it in packages of 5 sheets that are 9" x 12".


Another product that we are thinking of carrying is the WONDER THREAD GUIDE. Totally eliminates tangling, twisting and thread pile ups. It works with all machines with spool holders - either horizontal or vertical.


Here's a picture of it, what do you think?

Please drop us an email at mail@marathonthreadscanada.com and in the subject please write in SURVEY FOR NEW PRODUCTS.

Please remember that you can send us your orders anytime by fax or email or call our office between 9.30AM and 4.30PM CST Monday to Friday.

Happy stitching

We've been settling in very nicely in our new location. Everyone just loves the new place. The fall shows are now a thing of the past. Well at least until next year. People are busy embroidering and we're keeping busy helping customers and filling orders.

If you haven't looked at our website lately, you should. Our new metallics, especially our iridescent line is just flying off the shelves like hot cakes. (Can you tell that I really REALLY like them?) They are just gorgeous. We have many new products including some really nifty measuring tapes and some small thread box sets. They are perfect as stocking stuffers. We have 17 different sets available, they are all on our website.

Congrats to the winner at the Creative Stitches and Crafting Alive show held in Calgary in September 2008 - Dawn Lee P. from Stony Plain AB .

Happy Stitching!

The new place

Hello everyone!

I'm writing to you from our brand new location at 21 Muir Road (just a couple of blocks away from the old place). The move went pretty well other than a few boxes that went AWOL

We really like the new place. It's quite interesting to see our local customers come into the new place and stop dead in their tracks and say WOW.... I guess that means they like it too.

We have a brand new catalog out (Volume 6), so when you place your next order look for it as it should be with your order.

Michele and Mickey are getting ready for the shows coming up and I'll be holding down the fort. I'm also getting ready for a quilting retreat which I'm rather looking forward to.

Upcoming shows

We're almost done moving! I wanted to mention that we'll be attending the following shows. They're on our website but I thought I'd mention them here, just in case you haven't seen the information on our website. At these shows you'll be able to meet Michele and Mickey. I'll be at the office handling orders and getting ready for a quilting retreat.

New metallic colours

Wow, I can't believe how quiet you all are! Since I have a few minutes before the official move, I figured I'd drop by to tell you about your new metallic colours.


Yes, we have a bunch of new metallic colours. Since this spring, we've come out with 11 new metallic colours? Isn't that great?


We've added one more to our twist metallic colours, so now we have a silver/black, a gold/black and and our newest is raspberry/black.



We've added five more to our original line and the new colours are black, green, purple, lavender and light green (yes, all metallics!!!!).



Last but not least are our new iridescent metallics!!! We have a white, a yellow, a blue /purple (my favorite!!), a green and a lilac.

We're moving!

In order to serve you better, we're moving on August 25th. It's possible that the phone lines may be down between the 22nd and 25th but not to worry, we are not changing phone numbers and our website is always working and so is our email so if you can't get thru on the phone, please drop us an email. We'll be around. During our move, it's possible that there may be a slight delay (1 day) in shipping.

Our new address for both the warehouse and the office are:

• 21 Muir
• Winnipeg, Manitoba
• R2X 2X7

We look forward to serving you!
