For hand applique .... I treated myself to some blue silk thread and as the shop owner said, you will become addicted. I only bought one spool to try it. So for the white, I am using 80 wt Wonderfil DecoBob that I already have. A good way to compare the two and decide whether which works best for me.
Being that satellite guy did not show or call ... I called the dispatch tonight and I am supposed to be back on the schedule for tomorrow/Wednesday morning, so I will do some more stitching as I wait for the doorbell to ring!
