If you buy craft supplies sight unseen, you know the thrill—and the risk. This haul unpacks exactly which Madeira thread shades earned a restock, how to avoid ordering the wrong glitter vinyl (regular vs. premium), and why one surprise collectible stole the entire show.
What you’ll learn
- The nine Madeira embroidery thread colors called out—numbers, tone, and where they tend to shine.
- How to tell “regular” from “premium” glitter embroidery vinyl, and what to do if you order the wrong one.
- Practical ways to catalog new supplies so you can find and use them fast.
- Quick community-sourced notes: camera color cast, vinyl tracking, and Baby Yoda’s official name.
Primer: What This Haul Unlocks for Your Crafting A replenished palette and the right vinyl open up fast-turnaround projects—especially seasonal makes. This haul includes four go-to Madeira shades the crafter relies on and five fresh additions for flexibility, plus glitter vinyls tailored to Halloween and Christmas. A few personal-care extras add delight, while a giant “The Child” (Baby Yoda) collectible sets a fun tone for the studio.
Quick check
- Expect a warmer (yellow) camera cast and wavy artifacts in some shots; multiple viewers noted it, so it’s not your connection. That doesn’t change the facts you need from this guide.
From the comments
- Viewers flagged a yellow tint and interference; it’s likely the recording, not your internet.
Prep: Materials and How They Fit Into Your Projects Threads (Madeira embroidery thread)
- Restocks, often used:
- 1838 Primary Red: a frequent, versatile red.
- 1649 Lighter Green: used for grass, leaves, vines, and character details; also used as “rainbow green.”
- 1934 Royal Blue: a straightforward royal blue the crafter uses wherever that tone is needed.
- 1922 Purple: a standard purple used in general designs.
- New additions:
- 1820 Peach: soft and fresh; adds warmth to graphics and accents.
- 1884 Super Light Tan: paired with an existing light tan for cupcakes, horses, and donuts.
- 1623 Yellow: bright, nearly neon-adjacent—used for tennis balls and softballs.
- 1785 Cranberry: a richer red tone for specific projects.
- 1638 Burgundy/Crimson: deep red family, great for moody or classic palettes.
GlitterBug Fairy glitter embroidery vinyl
- Current order: light pink, “pinky purple,” orange (for Halloween), green and red (for Christmas).
- Note: the crafter also discusses a previous accidental “premium” purchase and how it differs from the “regular” type she intended.
Personal-care extras (from a FabFitFun box) - Mango & peach body wash.
- Mineral face sunscreen (Coola), described as organic and matte.
- Coconut oil deodorant (also described as organic).
- Spongellé soap-infused sponges: Violet Leaf, Tobacco Flower, Sugar Crush, and Bourbon Vanilla.
Pro tip
- If seasonal designs are on your calendar, batch your color purchases. Orange and green for Halloween; red and green for Christmas.
Checklist — Prep
- Note the exact Madeira color numbers you need to restock.
- Decide whether your designs call for regular or premium glitter vinyl.
- Set aside seasonal vinyl colors now, so you’re not scrambling later.
Setup: Color Strategy and Vinyl Type Matching How the restock shades work together
- 1649 Lighter Green + 1838 Red: the green handles foliage (grass, vines, leaves) while the red pops for accents.
- 1934 Royal Blue + 1922 Purple: classic strong tones to anchor uniforms, characters, or bold motifs.
Where the new colors slot in
- 1820 Peach and 1884 Super Light Tan bring warmth to cupcakes, donuts, and animals (e.g., horses). 1623 Yellow gives you punch for sporty motifs like tennis balls and softballs. 1785 Cranberry and 1638 Burgundy/Crimson deliver rich, deeper reds when “primary” feels too bright.
Vinyl type clarity: regular vs. premium
- The crafter accidentally ordered premium glitter embroidery vinyl instead of regular for a prior batch. She later compared them side-by-side (e.g., hot pink): the premium has a different glitter look and feel. If your project depends on a known texture or layer behavior, verify the type on the product listing and your packing slip before checkout.
Watch out
- Similar color names can mask different vinyl types. Always confirm “regular” vs. “premium” in the listing—especially if you’ve filtered by color only.
Pro tip
- One viewer remarked the premium orange is beautiful. If you’re okay with a stylistic shift, premium can become a happy design choice even if it wasn’t what you originally intended.
Decision point
- If your design relies on a known texture or layering behavior → choose the type you’ve tested (e.g., regular).
- If your priority is a standout sparkle or a luxe look → explore premium, but test a scrap first.
Checklist — Setup
- Group thread cones by color family (greens, reds, blues, neutrals) and label with color numbers.
- Separate regular and premium glitter vinyl into clearly marked bins or sleeves.

Quick check
- Threads: nine Madeira colors accounted for; confirm their numbers match your stash list.
- Vinyl: confirm which rolls are regular vs. premium before first cut.
Checklist — Operation
- Record all nine Madeira numbers in your log.
- Mark vinyl type on the roll end (R or P) and group by season.
- If you keep studio props, assign the big collectible a safe, visible perch.
Quality Checks: Verify Color Codes and Vinyl Types Color confirmation
- Verify each Madeira cone’s printed number: 1838, 1649, 1934, 1922, 1820, 1884, 1623, 1785, 1638.
- Cross-check the greens and reds you plan for holidays: orange/green for Halloween, red/green for Christmas.
Vinyl confirmation - Lay a small swatch of regular and premium side-by-side (like the crafter’s hot pink comparison) to see the visual difference before you commit to a design.
Outcome expectation
- After these checks, your palette is reliable: you know exactly what each thread tone looks like in real life, and you won’t be surprised by a different glitter texture or sheen.
Results & Handoff: Organizing Your New Supplies A practical, low-maintenance system
- Threads: store by color family and note the code on top-facing labels so you can pull cones at a glance.
- Vinyl: keep regular and premium on separate rods or shelves; mark edges so the type is visible even when rolls are stacked.
From the comments
- A viewer asked how to keep track of vinyl names and types and suggested labeling until the shades become second nature—simple and effective.
Pro tip
- Keep a lightweight card with your most-used Madeira numbers taped inside your supply cupboard; it keeps reorders and substitutions fast.
Community joy as motivation - The big surprise figure brings fun energy to a workspace and can make project photos more memorable.
Checklist — Handoff
- Label each vinyl roll end with color + type.
- Ensure thread numbers are visible in storage.
- Snap a shelf photo for your phone so you can reference stock when shopping.
Troubleshooting & Recovery: Avoiding Mix-ups and Fixing Them Symptom: You ordered the wrong vinyl type
- Likely cause: Color-first filtering without checking “regular” vs. “premium.”
- Fix: Place a correction order for the needed type, as the crafter did—and consider using the mistaken premium for new designs where its look shines.
Symptom: On-camera color looks off (yellow cast, wavy bottom)
- Likely cause: Recording artifacts, noted by multiple viewers.
- Fix: For your own documentation, add a quick note acknowledging the cast so your audience trusts your color decisions.
Symptom: Can’t pick up packages in time
- Likely cause: Post office window hours conflict with your schedule.
- Fix: Plan a specific trip when the counter is staffed; it worked for the crafter and ensured timely unboxing.
Pro tip
- When ordering seasonally (Halloween, Christmas), add a “type check” step to your cart review. It’s a 10-second habit that prevents a weeks-long detour.
The Surprise: Giant ‘The Child’ (Baby Yoda) Funko Pop - Scale: it’s truly oversized and a bobblehead—instant studio statement piece.
- Naming note from the community: officially “The Child,” same species as Yoda.
From the comments: Quick answers and community wisdom
- Camera/Color: Multiple viewers noticed a yellow tint and interference; it seems to be in the recording.
- Vinyl love: Premium orange earned fan praise—if you like the look, lean into it.
- Names matter: Officially, the character is “The Child,” though “Baby Yoda” remains the affectionate nickname.
- Tracking vinyl colors: Label rolls until you instinctively recognize shades and storage spots.
A little self-care goes a long way - The FabFitFun goodies brought a spark: mango & peach body wash, a matte mineral sunscreen for faces, coconut oil deodorant, and a lineup of strongly scented, long-lasting Spongellé sponges. These small comforts can make long crafting days nicer.
A note on community gifts and joy - A viewer sent a handmade card, sour candy, and a pure beeswax Advent calendar candle—each a reminder that craft communities are generous, personal, and inspiring. Lighting a little each day toward Christmas adds a sweet ritual to the studio.
Related gear to explore (optional)
- If you’re optimizing hooping flow, you might research accessories like hoop master embroidery hooping station or embroidery hoops magnetic to streamline setup. For specific machine ecosystems, terms such as brother magnetic embroidery frame and dime snap hoop can help you locate compatible options. Multi-needle users sometimes look into mighty hoops for brother or size-specific gear like mighty hoop 8x9 depending on their rig and garment types. Single-needle crafters curious about entry-level hardware occasionally compare models such as best embroidery machine for beginners to understand their hooping and accessory paths.
Pro tip
- Save search terms you find useful in a notes app—future you will thank you during sale season.
Final word This haul boils down to clarity: exact thread numbers you can count on, vinyl types you can spot at a glance, and a reminder that joy—whether it’s a favorite sponge scent or a giant bobblehead—has a rightful place in your craft room.
