I was tired of white work and all the greys on my Reptiles, so I spent a lot of time on Uncle Sam's Hat. The next stripe had Neon Rays in it. I love Neon Rays! I hate Neon Rays! I could not get my stitches smooth.I tried wetting the thread. That did not work. Sigh. Then I remembered a talk with Gary Parr and Christine Williams on Fiber Talk .
They suggested ironing the thread with a flat iron. After a little talk with my dd, I located my iron.
And I watched a video that suggested using Thread Magic. I had a container of Thread Heaven and I used it. I know there is controversy about using it, but I was desperate!
