Blimey, you can keep those over there guys.

I have been trying to find out what thread is used for outdoors embroidery, those I have asked seem to all think it's just the same stuff for indoors / clothing etc.  Doesn't seem right.
Any body here know ?

Theres something for everyone i guess, I thought diamond was out but keep seeing it.
That thread does look to be a blue from my screen, Anyhow double needle is an easy sell for gearing up to that work. Guage selection ? the more i learn the decision gets tougher.
good day

OMG........ No thanks.

Send all those designs to Spain. Suzi loves a challenge. :)

I have a 1/2 " gauge for my work but that wouldn't work on these. :) 1/4 " would I think.

BTW, I love my double needle machine. That thing has been a HUGE time saver. Speaking of which
if I had to do one of those seats it would take me a week.
