 Loving it! May 6, 2010

I have been a beader for over 30 years, but have been out of the "loop" for a while now. I got an order for a beaded pow-wow crown and started with Nymo thread. I stumbled onto FireLine and I am loving it. It doesn't fray. It threads nicely. I have used the .006 and the .008 and either fit through a size 12 beading needle, so I would say it is pretty fine. The .008 is a bit heavier and is working perfectly with size 11 seed beads that require multiple pass throughs. It comes in clear or gray and it's practically invisible in my work. The only drawback I see is that the needle can split the line just a little. But even with that, I don't think that would reduce the strength of the work in any noticeable way. The cost is a bit high, so I suppose you could use the Nymo for the body of the work and trim the edges with FireLine. But the prices at Amazon are the best I have found so far.

I was so disappointed when I received this product. The image of the thread has the word "Fine" on the label. When I received the product it was not the same thread. I spoke to the vendor more than once and and sent them the image. They said that they had "fine" in stock. And that I could purchase it from them. I didn't ask the price, but I wanted to purchase it through Amazon, at the price given on the website. This was a very involved process and in the end I still do not have the "fine" thread. Amazon did credit my account for the mix-up.
