If you like that thread, stick with it, it looks good to me.  It is advertised as waxed but probably lightly is my guess.  You can get roundish thread or flat.  Ritza 25 is flat.  Some like it, some don't.  In your other thread closer stitch spacing was discussed.  Did you try it?  I think what they call 1.0mm would look great with 3mm Craftool irons

I finally just got a 3mm craftool with 2 prongs so I can go around corners, so I need to do a test with this ritza 25 .6 mm and the chengyida 1 mm still. besides I do need more stitching practice!

I hear you..( directed to Dun ) as you noticed, I inadvertently triggered another "bug"..whilst i was replying to you..

It may well be that the forum  software does not "hold" the clipboard item that the poster is intending to paste..

( can be a problem with fora that are heavily reliant upon javascript and or ajax "calls".."latency" can throw them "for a loop"

I do notice ( and have done for some time now ) that what I'd call ( anti-flood ) = protection against multiple postings of the same post ) happen a lot..poster sees "not posted", system is processing the post, poster hits "submit" again, and ( maybe ) again , system "eventually" posts ( when it "catches up ) multiple copies of the same post..seems to be  on Tom's watch a lot..( you have my sympathies Tom :)..

Even while I'm typing this I see the system telling me there are new replies ( currently it is showing me 3 "new replies" ) ..

It is an occasional problem with any "push" system..Depends upon how the server is set up, and how fast it is , and how fast the connected boxen are..

ahhhh and also dang, that sounds rough on you mods!

I'm not a mod..

Mods have "green " names..

Nor am I a sysadmin on this forum..

This is Johanna's  machine that you are posting onto..

But I am ( when wearing one of my many "hats" ) a programmer / sysadmin ( on my own stuff ) , and I know how some stuff works , been involved in such stuff over many decades..( greybeard) ..( But, I don't pretend ( ever ) to know it all by any means, even on my own boxen ) ..

 

I try help out , with explanations , or whatever ( when I am around, if I am around ) ..

 

Not very often you'll see me using "graphic smileys" either..I'm "old school"..like I said .."greybeard"..

Johanna’s machine? I don’t know what that it. 

Also green name? I’m partially colorblind

[mikesc]

The website belongs to ( and is administered by Johanna..the leatherlady )

Mods  here ( click on the link at the top of the page where it says "staff" to see who they are ) have their names in "green"..mine is in "blue" ( thankyou J )  .

Which, if you are blue green colour blind ( which in France, where I live, is called being Daltonian, or maybe Daltonien..and now I have the Eagle's Duelin' Dalton ( I think it was )  as an "earworm"..I'll have to look it up, I have it somewhere as the original vynil,bought when it came out..and on CD ..and ripped to .flac)..Love that band, and Don Henley..see my "sig"..and Loggins and Messina, and Alabama, etc  ) will be confusing..maybe it affects other members, first time I've seen it come up, but colour blindness ( even partial ) is more common than many people realise..Thanks for bring attention to it

 

Maybe mods names should be in another/ or supplementary  "decorated" form ( "usability"), I'll look into the forum software options and if other decoration forms are possible I'll suggest something about it to Johanna..But it is her place..her decisions..we are all just her "guests"..

Oooh I thought you talking about the individual machine/computer you were on belonged to someone else. It’s been a long day. Thanks

FYI the Craftool stitching chisels are marked and measured differently than about any others.  They measure the space _between_ the prongs (but _not_ between the tips of the prongs). IMO, this is both confusing and useless. The Craftool "3mm" should be listed as 5 or 5.5mm.  It corresponds to 5 stitches per inch and 1.0mm thread is a good match.

Virtually all other stitching chisels and pricking irons are measured by the distance between the tips of the prongs, so 3mm equates to 8-9 spi, depending on the maker.  That prefers a much smaller thread.

That's good to know! and helps explain why I've been having trouble keeping straight chisel/irons sizing.

I don't think I like how the craftool punches through as a chisel so I'm going to give it a try as just mark pricking and keep using the awl
