Thanks!
I haven't used them but I am under the impression it does take some patience.
There are a few ladies here, that can probably help.
As an alternative, there are many shades of gold or yellow embroidery flosses.
I have the patience, but not the concentration with interruptions, so I'm using different colored flosses.
Can't wait to see yours!
I hope I have something to share soon. :thumbup:
