A way to save money on stitching thread.. i think

[paranoiac543]

Heyllo, today i was watching my mom using a needle and thread to fix a little tear in a blanket and i realized that one strand of thread is like one strand of embroidery floss. so if you put 7 strands of thread together, you get embroidery floss! I haven't actually tried to cross stitch like that.. but..um..yeah..just a suggestion

It is different from normal thread. Plus you get colour codes on DMC and Anchor that you use to get the right colours for a pattern.

I'm stitching with black normal thread and i can't tell the difference at all ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
but..yeah i guess it would only be ok for primary colours
