What has happened to eBay? I have posted various things in the past few months, and hardly even get "views" let alone buyers. No wonder they've eliminated the listing fees. Anyway, if you need any belt buckles, Stohlman manuals, or conchos (to be listed), check out my listings: http://www.ebay.com/...sid=p4340.l2562 Thanks, ~Jennifer

I bought some 1 mm metallic gold leather cord. Is it hard to hand sew with leather cord? Why wouldn't we use it, seeing as how we're working with leather? I'm still on the hunt for nylon #207 gold thread. The Thread Exchange is sending me a sample of theirs. Cool, eh?

Thanks for the suggestions. The #207 gold thread I bought off of eBay fell through -- the guy was out of stock.

Yeah, I thought of that, but not thick enough. I ordered some bonded nylon off of someone on eBay last night that looks fairly shiny. I'll keep an eye out for metallic shiny, though! Thanks for the reply, Coop.

I want to make a black bridle with gold stitching. I mean, as gold as I can get it. Finding heavy gold thread is a problem, though. The Thread Exchange has "gold" and "silver" but they look dull. It's tough to tell on a computer screen, but I think it's just kind of a burnished yellow color. Embroidery thread looks nice and metallic, but I can't find any heavy enough. Anyone have ideas? One person on the forum painted their thread with gold acrylic paint after stitching. I wonder if it can be painted before stitching? Hmmm... ~Jennifer

Thank you, Guapo. My mom has the wallet, and she loves it. I'm working on a bible cover for a friend now, and already got the front decoration off-center. Ahhh, learning curves.
