And, I was given a spool of Wildfire to bead with recently, and had the opposite results! I LOVE it, and woule bead with it all the time, if I could afford it! It doesn't fray or break even when I tried to cut it with dull scissors! It also glides through the felt I use much easier than Nymo! I would definitely purchase it!!!The Lone BeaderĀ®https://www.blogger.com/profile/17670946654211536130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10181892.post-14964196640786350142009-04-11T15:59:00.000-05:002009-04-11T15:59:00.000-05:00KJ, s_baghaii, LADY ROOTS and V---'-@.

I like Silamide because it doesn't need waxing, it's sturdy, knots hold if you pull them tight, the stuff is strong, and it doesn't stretch. I have tried nymo but it doesn't fit my work. <BR/><BR/>I also use James needles - specifically numbers 10, 12, 13 short tapestry pointed beading needles, Hard to find but so far my source, beadcats has always carried them.<BR/><BR/>I tried C-lon once. Still have the spool. I think it might be ok for stringing but not for weaving - espeically if one makes a lot of passes through the beads.Patricia C Venerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13780981080999105172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10181892.post-34028176988346470762009-04-11T10:30:00.000-05:002009-04-11T10:30:00.000-05:00Sistren NEB,My preferred thread is Nymo with Sylam...Sistren NEB,<BR/><BR/>My preferred thread is Nymo with Sylamide as a second choice. Since there are no local bead stores here in Jamaica, beading thread is bought by the <B>large</B> spool when I go up to the States. I read yesterday that Nymo wasn't originally formulated for beading, but instead was intended for the shoe making industry!<BR/><BR/>I am satisfied with those two and the only way I would try a different thread would be if it were included in one of the beading goody bags my friends and family sometimes bring down.<BR/><BR/>Bless Up,<BR/>Lady RootsLADY ROOTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024725715605137298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10181892.post-88186266583241617402009-04-11T08:07:00.000-05:002009-04-11T08:07:00.000-05:00I have spent too much money trying things just to ...I have spent too much money trying things just to wind up with Nymo again as well. <BR/><BR/>The only time that I have every really wanted an alternative was with this one set of beads that always always frays the thread.

I began with regular sewing thread or fishing line and graduated to dental floss. Nymo came along and that was all I used. I have not, however, had the same flawless results reported here. I always blame the knots, but I double and triple knot and top the last one off with a dot of glue. I have also noticed fraying on fringes. I tried Fireline for the first time last year and really like it- the knots felt tight, the tension was even, and there was no fraying. I have never tried to make a fringe using Fireline - I expect it would not lay as nicely as the Nymo. Maybe I should give C-lon a try. <BR/><BR/>I think I will maintain a combination of threads in my supplies and use Fireline for some pieces, Nymo for others.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829023669459655366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10181892.post-21411970107406553562009-04-11T01:57:00.000-05:002009-04-11T01:57:00.000-05:00Kathy I knew you were a Nymo girl!!I am in good co...Kathy I knew you were a Nymo girl!!<BR/>I am in good company.<BR/><BR/>Katie I know a lot of people who would never give up their fireline.<BR/><BR/>Judith I bought C-lon when it first came out.
