Gentleman of Fortune Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I want to do some hand sewing and need silk and linen thread. I have googled the topic but, being a novice tailor, I have no idea what the different types of thread are. Embroidery, 50wt, 60/2 it all greek to me. Any help?

Black Hearted Pearl Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 It' s greek to me too, but I know where you might find the information you seek. You shall have to take a trip to your local Jo-Anne's, ETC. store. In the sewing machine area, they have ladies that specialize in embroidery machines and such. They would know about the size and weights of threads. Hope that helps, ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Gentleman of Fortune Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 uhhhmmmm.... thanks for the suggestions, but I live in Germany so a trip to Jo-Anns is not doable. I was hoping for some web links to some tried and true sources... I have googled it but I would rather have some hand holding if I could. Thanks though Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
