Good morning Cuties:

I just looked through some of the text files for designs I have from her, and one mentioned Floriani, one mentioned Maderia Rayon and a few mentioned Maderia polyneon. Not sure if that helps or not :)

Thank you for checking for me.

I have cotton rayon and poly thread.
Poly-shiniest
Rayon-more silk like shine
cotton Matt
On the computer screen something may appear more shiney due to lighting of the camera etc.

Thank you for the information. Its the cupcake design that caught my eye.

The designs I have from her only give general color names, no brand and no numbers.

Thank you for the information

I just checked several txt files that accompany her designs and she recommends a 75 - 80 needle and heavy water soluble stabilizer. There is no mention of thread, although I know I saw it some where. maybe on sticherymall. Polyester is made from oil, and also the shinest. Rayon is Plant material (cellulose) and had a nice sheen to it compared to cotton which is what I use, I just ordered maderia rayon to make my angels for the holidays. I got a sampler set - no need to invest too much without trying it. Hope this helps! PS cheap poly's can stretch and not good for FSL. christine Live Laugh Download Stitch!

Thank you for taking the time to check and the information.

Hi Jerry, I don't know what she uses but have a look on Google the differences betweenn Polyester and Rayon and that may give you some idea. Love Chris
