Hello,

Has anyone stitched Teresa Wentzler's Peacock. It is a big project and I would like to start it. But the threads are very confusing as they all need to be blended. Although the instruction say just blending filament there are two types...Just thought if anyone can give me any advice on this this.

Thanks
winnie

Blending usually means using two different coloured threads at the same time.

Means you aren't able to do a loop start but otherwise I didn't find that difficult.

Filament threads can fray easily and I use Thread Heaven to help with that and keep the length of threads short when using filament threads.

Thanks Ann, I did understand from the kit what is blending, but what I realy want to know is there are 2 types of filament threads, but in the chart it just says filament threads twice, and in the bleding instructions it doea not differentiate it either. I am confused which goes where? Also what is thread Heaven?

thread heaven is a wonderful thing
it is thread conditioner that you coast your thread with and it allows the thread to move thru the material better and with less notting and such
and as for if anyone has done the peacock i think that Bouncy tigger might have as i know she likes those designs

I'd get in touch with the company who made the kit and say that you are having trouble understanding which threads to use, they are usually very helpful.
