HI Joyce,

I will let you know what size just as soon as my husband gets back from
Louisville and can tell me! He is looking for an apartment for us.

Actually, you would need something thicker than what I have because it is
way too thin. If you just slightly bump it, it will bend, that is why I say
it is only good for the embroidery needles. I use it folded in half with an
opening for the thread to go through. The wire comes on a spool and when I
have gotten it, they do pull a little away for me to feel it to try to judge
whether it will be what I need.

And yes, it is in the jewelry section of the craft stores! sorry I forgot to
say that earlier.

Hugs,
Tanya in KY

Now what type of wire or where is this found in a craft store?  Is it
jewelry wire?  You say that it does not work on regular size needles only
your
embroidery size needles, can you tell me what size you have?  As I  would
need
something thinner then what you are describing to me in order to get  it
through
a sewing machine needle.  It would also have to have some  stiffness and be
bent in half.

Many thanks for your help.

Joyce
