What threads I choose for my designs are sometimes very different from what I personally stitch with.  When creating a design, I often stick with DMC flosses and toss in the occasional Kreinik blending filament or #4 braid.

I try and recommend threads that I *think* most stitchers can get their hands on.


When i stitch, I will often deviate from the designer's choice in threads and use some of the fibers I have in my own stash. There are so many wonderful threads out there right now! 


My question:


Should I start recommending some of those AND using them in my designs? Or should I stick with the more easily obtained threads?

I live in the country and it is 2.5 hours away from the nearest store to buy  speciality threads.So for the that reason alone I use only DMC as I only have to drive an hour to get them.If you do list other threads please also list a DMC list.Thank you for asking Deb ^j^
