Tan'si from Alberta, Canada! :o)
I am in the early stages of making my wedding dress. After alot of research, I settled on a pig hide as it is a "pure" white, not an offwhite as a deer hide can only be. So...I am on the hunt for a "polynylon wax covered thread". Apparently, using cotton won't last as the oils from the hide will eat the thread with in three months time..don't need my dress falling off me halfway through the ceremony. LOL though people would never forget the wedding!!! :o) I can't find this thread..does anyone have any suggestions for a thread??
Also, fringe cutting. My fringes are 17" and 19" in length and cutting with scissors leaves little "snag" looking marks. Are electric shears/scissors good here or longer bladed scissors?
HELP!
Hiy-Hiy!!
