Hello All! Gil Dye's metallic edgings are calling my name & I thought I would start out by working a few strips in plain cotton or linen before jumping off on the metallic threads. To orient myself, I started with the thread comparisons on pg 8 & ran into a snag when I couldn't find some of the threads in Brenda's book. Just guessing here--it seems like the Benton & Johnson passing & tambour plus the Jap thread would not normally be found in her thread index because they are goldwork threads rather than lace. I am not familiar with Stephen Simpson or Atelier MB Medalfaden 40/2 so have no clue. Is Coats Ophir the same as MEZ? There are two entries for DMC Fil Metallise: 4S 29 & bound 27, but maybe they are close enough sizewise that it doesn't matter. Plus I wasn't sure about the correct Presencia thread--in fact I didn't know they make metallics! If anyone has worked these edgings, would you be willing to share what you know about the threads? Are there some logica! l thread substitutes for ones that haven't been tested by Brenda? Has anyone used Rajmahal threads? I own some stranded Rajmahal metallic that is similar to DMC Mouline, maybe slightly finer. Any help will be most appreciated. Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL USA
