#8 Perle cotton

yes, with a metallic needle, #8 perle cotton WILL work in my machine.  I had to take it slow and use longer stitches (and only straight stitches, no FMQing), but it DID work with some finesse and tension adjusting!

  1. You are teasing us too much...not showing a bigger shot of your work. You are the brave one. Did you use a denim needle? That's some thick thread! Sandi

  2. I probably would have done bobbin work since I have a thing about breaking needles. It looks nice.
