Good points. Need to keep 'em for Bead Notes......

Also, Silamide holds up under the test of time far bett

For pictures (to hang on the wall type), I'd agree. For fabric like denim or
canvas, it's usually fine. For thin cottons, silk, etc., if the beads snag on
something, the thread will pull and likely rip the fabric. It's better to use
thread that will break to attach the beads to clothing. If you're worried
about
beads cutting the thread, string them on your "tough" thread of choice, and
couch the string down using cotton thread.

Just like when sewing silk-- use cotton thread for the seams.... Save the
silk
thread for top-stitching, because it can cut the cloth if the seams are
stressed.

Sometimes the "bad choice" is a better choice than the "good choice".
