grouch 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2012 Make a stop to the sewing side of Wal Mart and pick up a spool or two of Coats and Clark Rayon thread. I have more than a few colors of the stuff as it makes a great substitution for silk. It also makes a great ribbing for dries and just about anything else you can think of. I have an old Thompson bobbin that I bent out enough to put on the spool and simply wrap it on like I am starting a hook while keeping my working thread at one end or the other. http://www.coatsandclark.com/Products/Machine+Embroidery/Threads/Rayon/Coats+Rayon+Thread.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
