Thread.
The more I work with Cebelia thread, the harder it is to go back to "regular" threads, such as DMC perle cottons, crochet cotton, etc.
Truly, I seem to have difficulty maintaining picot height and even curves (chains going around the ends of pieces) when working with these substandard threads - issues that I don't have when working with Cebelia. Is it because the thread just doesn't slide as easily? Is it because I'm going nuts due to the fact that it's almost 4 o'clock in the morning?
I'm going to start a new project tomorrow evening using a few strands of DMC thread (from my cross-stitch collection, actually) and one strand of silvery DMC rayon thread. I do hope that it's not as difficult to work as I'm projecting it to be... however, I'm welcoming any tips ahead of time, should you be willing to post them.
'Night, dear tatters. :-)
