Hi Caitlyn,

How are the thread zappers?? I have been thinking about one. My eyes are not what they used to be, and I am tired of nipping my fingers....


I use thread heaven, ( not as clumpy but leaces a residue on teh fingers aswell as the stringing Mediu,. Also beeswax or an old candle if I do not have either beeswax or my thread heaven about. I also use size 10 needles they can do up to Size D threads (nymo) and silk with a little bit if work... the needlse I get are 25 for $1.15 CDN and they go through most pearl holes. adn teh needles are longish and wow end up in odd shapes..

I gave all my Big eye, and wire collapsable needles to my mom She loves them... and they seem to become harder to find near her..

I also use a light for beading.. usually 100 watt. Hmm.. That is all I can think of that I like to use that is different from what is already mentioned...

cheers

Ash
