There will always be an optimum pin density for any given thread, but spread the pinholes out for a lighter airier look and crowd them in for a heavier, denser appearance.
Which brings us to yet another variable in choosing threads--personal preferences in the finished product. I dislike cloth stitch (CTC) that has gaps between the threads, but others like the gauzy appearance. Therefore, the thread that I consider best will be thicker than the thread such a person considers best. But then for rose ground, or honeycomb (CTT pin CTT), or whole stitch ground (CTCT pin CTCT), or half stitch (CT), I'd enjoy a finer thread than I would for cloth stitch so then I might want the same thread as the person who liked the gauzy cloth stitch. And thank you, Avital, for updating the info tacked onto Arachne messages. I just noticed the URL for the Arachne webshots, which I keep forgetting. -----Photo site: http://community.webshots.com/user/arachne2003 Robin P.
