Hank's post about the garments he creates made me think about something I had never given much thought too before. :wink_smil What are the proper threads and thread weights to use when preparing period garments? All I can find in my little town is the awful polyester cotton stuff made by Wrights, which BTW has a horrible color selection. For some reason all my dresses, bonnets, etc always fall outside the realm of these colors!!! I can find a small stock of quilting cotton in really basic colors also, or embroidery floss. Not much to choose from!!!! And the thread weights!! I don't even begin to know where to start in finding a good PC thread weight!!! I know, this is a very simple, basic question, but seriously I had never given much thought to it!!!!
