I've spun the beads directly onto the single, but I decided to try a thread core for the next one just to experiment, and was wondering about the invisible quilter's thread, so your timing is absolutely perfect!! :-)Rhonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803839851422228302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183250014956175356.post-16672664216932129802008-01-05T16:20:00.000-08:002008-01-05T16:20:00.000-08:00That sounds cool.

It goes quite fast on a supported spindle and I don't have to remove the needle and I can take advantage of all the fabulous acrylic and plastic beads around that weigh almost nothing. I also ply on a spindle, or else use my charkha, so I don't have to worry about anything spinningdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211231649784777346noreply@blogger.com
