It's the tacking thread that holds it down, and that's very fine, even the gold colored thread. <br /><br /> Only the very finest gold silk threads would work for piercing the fabric, since as you say, the friction unwinds the outer gold covering leaving you with the core of thread, not what you wanted.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755568855319050817.post-49589526359065488092014-06-29T00:36:24.435-07:002014-06-29T00:36:24.435-07:00Fabulous.
