>One more though - needle size. I recall that the Tenara page on the Gore website (and on other sewing sites, too) gives brief tips on how to use Tenara, including what needle sizes to use. I printed this off and gave it to my wife when we first got our Tenara thread but that was some time ago so I don't remember the needle size anymore. But I'm pretty sure it's there. The number "16" sticks in my mind but that may be totally incorrect and have nothing to do with sewing at all.... Tenara is available in two weights, as I recall. Based on the information on the website, I believe we got the lighter weight because for what we were going to do with it, that seemed best. ______________________________ C.
