Members JD62 Posted September 25, 2017 Members Report Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I've never tried it but I wonder if one of the three sizes of Perma-Lock needles would work for your micro cord? Edited September 25, 2017 by JD62 Quote One day at a time my friends John
Members Stetson912 Posted September 25, 2017 Members Report Posted September 25, 2017 That's a good point, it might work if the holes are big enough. Instinctive said he wanted to keep the hole small though. I wonder how much the permalock needle would stretch the hole? My other thought would be some strong monofilament with a loop. Kinda like cobblers used to use for needle-less sewing of insoles. Would have to be strong enough to pass easily through the hole but flexible to bring the micro cord through too. Quote
Members Instinctive Posted September 25, 2017 Author Members Report Posted September 25, 2017 I currently use the smallest permalok needle from Tandy for the 550 cord by tapering and melting the end of the cord. That needle also fits the micro cord but the end is too blunt to push though a stitch hole with cord thought he hole already. I found some needles for micro cord which are tapered to try.
