I use Madeira Super twist metallic . The rayon was a random dyed thread that I got from a show in London. I like the
shiny effect of threads but have used DMC floss at times. The fine Krenik threads work well. When I use beads alone I
use Nymo beading thread to attach them. Shirley In message

Your designs are lovely. I can see why you punch your own cards. You might like to try the Tokens and Trifles cards
since they come in a variety of shapes. They have one packet that can be used to make a small basket. It is very nice.
The paper is of very high quality and is acid free. I enjoyed seeing your backyard and the visitor. We have a couple
of squirrels in our backyard. These are wire walkers and love to tease one of our dogs. I really like the way you use
beads with the punched cards. What thread are you using for your stitching on the cards? Alice On Oct 27, 2:53 pm,

I had a look at the site in Wales UK who appear to be the only stockist in UK. I thought that 7.25 GBP was expensive for
one card. That is about 14 dollars. However it has given me an idea since I have to prick the holes out for the

Also I can use the pricking stencils to make fancy borders. Thanks for giving me a step up for the idea. Shirley --

Shirley, What stitches are you using on the perferated paper? I have only seen cross-stitch and tent stitch used on
the paper. Even the Victorian embroidery on paper seems to be cross-stitch only. I would be interested in seeing what
you are doing with the paper. Alice On Oct 27, 12:15 am, Shirley Shone <nos...@allcrafts.area51.demon.co.uk>
