    If you are using Kreinik, use short lengths (no longer than 12 inches) and a 24 or 26 size needle. If you don't have the Thread Heaven that Estelle refers to, then cut your length of Kreinik, hold it between both hands, and give it a little pull until you feel a slight give. This will straighten it for you.

    Hope that helps! Go to top
