Interesting what Maureen says about it.

I don't remember having a hard time closing rings, but I do remember it not being easy to work with. If I recall it did not seem as smooth as DMC 80. Since I probably have a WIP somewhere with that thread, I most likely will have a chance to familiarize myself with the thread at some point in the future. If I ever get back to it...micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322090750409629793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-18913789134136617812014-03-01T14:19:37.848-05:002014-03-01T14:19:37.848-05:00Both your shuttles are beauties.

So closing rings is terribly difficult. Someone advised me, years ago, to keep my stock of it for chains only. I believe the size 40 doesn't have this problem.<br />I, too, saw that little heart this morning, but am single-mindedly sticking to Maids of Honour which I restarted for the umpteenth time on Thursday.
