Danielle,
I wish I'd been able to hang out longer and we might have mentioned this last weekend.. Anyway, I have a couple of tricks in addition to Thread Heaven that make filaments bearable.. As long as it doesn't affect the color (and there are a couple that it will, but I don't remember numbers off the top of my head..) I strip out the carrier thread, and use just the sparkly metallinc one. The thing that REALLY helps me (I think) is to make sure that I use shorter lengths, and fasten both the floss and the filament in the eye of the needle with a larkshead knot. Paula I am using the Kreinik's blending filaments, and I could never get them to stay with the floss in a blended needle, and I would put a project away for months at a time because the stuff wouldn't do what I wanted! |
