Can I just say thank you for the encouragement I had when I first talked about using silk threads, a complete new thing for me at that time.
I bought gutterman silk, did a small trial piece and then have set about working on my silk lace garter design which is now close on half way. After the first inch of lace I have forgotten about what thread it is, just concentrating on getting the pattern working right and its looking just fine. Working up no problem. Apart from a couple of times when I forget which way my half stitch goes first (due to some distraction) I cant tell you how I thought it would be different, but it works up fine. So anyone else out there thinking about it, just go for it, apart from being just a little bit more careful how I filled the bobbins I haven't had any problems with it as a thread.
