Avoid cheap thread for you sewing projects. Cheap threads are not always colorfast and they fray and break easily. Spend the extra money to get quality thread for your next project.

True story. I tried to save some money on a sewing project and bought the cheaper thread and i had a really hard time setting it up in the mashine because it wouldnt work like i needed it to.

Comment #2 Jeanette from AZ -

The same thing goes for cheap yarn. I bought a bunch of yarn at a "discount" store and it was horrible. The yarn kept fraying and at one point while I was crocheting with it, it completely broke apart!!

I use metallic thread and wire in certain mixed media projects. I was worried that years from now the whole thing would fall apart on the wall.

Metallic thread hrmmm. Do you have to worry about rust at all as it ages? Interesting i havent messed with it much but that does sound like a nice alternative if you are worried about age effecting the piece.

Comment #5 mongoose from USA -

I don't worry about rust because I use finisher and then it's either under glass or tied with nylon too so it will retain shape even if for some reason the wire or thread deteriorates.

Can't rust unless unless someone puts moisture in it.

No open air installtions. Most galleris are air controlled for this reason.
