Bullion – Bright Check Purl
Price Per Yard. Available in Gilt, Silver and Copper.
Bright Check Purls are made up of a very fine wire thread that is wound into a soft flexible hollow tube with a serrated/jaggered and shiny surface.
The tube is cut up into chips (beads) and couched down onto the fabric – passing the needle and thread through the middle of the chip so the thread is hidden and can be sewn over felt or crochet cotton padding to give the area dimension.
I recommend ordering enough for your project as each manufacturing batch can differ slightly in the appearance of the serrated/jaggered surface and colour.

The 100% beeswax small rose is used to coat sewing thread when working metal thread/goldwork embroidery and is a perfect size to work two or three of my goldwork designs.
It is especially good for sewing down abrasive metal threads such as bullions, jaceron, lizerine, pearl purl, purl threads and twists as the thread is less likely to snag on the thread and shred or break.
Beeswax is also useful to coat crochet cotton when used for padding metal thread designs. The beeswax stiffens the crochet cotton so that when you sew down the crochet cotton padding you do not get uneven thickness to the padding caused by the tension of the stitches on unwaxed crochet cotton.

The round end is used to nudge and push metal threads into position and is gentler on the metal threads than using tweezers as the mellor has been polished and has smooth rounded edges so less likely to damage the metal thread.

Fabric Eraser
The fabric eraser is useful for surface embroidery when you use a pencil to draw your design lines onto fabric.
If you by mistake draw the line in the incorrect position, use the fabric eraser to remove the pencil line.
The pencil line may not completely erase so still take care when drawing design lines on your fabric.
I find the eraser useful especially when drawing on the direction guide lines on my needle painting designs and sometimes draw the guide lines on at the wrong angle and need to remove them.
