Hand sewing Sulky puffy 3 mm?
Hand sewing Sulky puffy 3 mm? Has anyone done this and is it easy on the hands? I have OA and wanted to try do this.
Have not bought it yet. What type of thread did you use for it?

It depends on what job I am doing. If I am sewing something thick like stuffed toy shut, I like to use coats and Clark button hole twist which is a strong thick thread. General hand sewing is usually ordinary polyester thread since it is strong and I don’t care what brand it is. If I am doing hand appliqué, sometimes aurifil or silk thread depending on the colour match. Hand sewing through thick fabric, I would probably go for a polyester thread for the strength as you will need to pull on it as you sew. Good Luck!
