You have always captured true snowflake shapes, and you must have been delighted when this one came off your shuttles! I don't know how you've found the time to design this, with all the other projects you are working on! The blanket is wonderful!<br /><br />You asked about silver thread. One brand that I always use is DMC metallic gold or silver thread that comes on a spool, found.in embroidery areas of craft stores. <br /> http://www.dmc-usa.com/Products/Needlework-Threads/Embroidery-Threads/Metallic-Embroidery-Thread.aspx <br /> <br /> It is equivalent to size 30 and works very well for jewelry or earrings, as it holds up to pulling and tugging of rings. (I did Monica Hahn's larger butterfly in gold thread back in 2008.) I use a lower 'tension' when working with it. However it may be too 'fine' for a snowflake. DMC makes a thicker metallic thread, found on a skein, marked size 5,,and I successfully used it on Sherry Pence's treble clef motif, but it was a little 'thick'' to work with.<br /><br />I have used Aleene's fabric stiffener successfully for 25 years (usually diluted), and also I have used glitter glue or fine glitter sprinkled afterwards on some stiffened items, and it is quite effective. I was pleased that my sister-in-law's 25th anniversary bell still sparkles in person (white thread and sprinkled lightly with silver glitter after shaping over a Styrofoam bell form, while stiffener was still 'tacky' ) I hadn't seen it since 1998, and borrowed it for my 1/09/2014 post and tribute to Mary Konior, as I used her Maids of Honour edging to make the bell.
