I've been working with 6 stranded floss.
Coral shades...
I've been wanting to 'test drive' the
Extra small (Fine) Needle for
the' Ultra Punch' punchneedle.
I used two strands of floss.
Very fine and 'delicate'.
I used the floss in three ways.
2 threads was used with an extra small needle.
3 strands was used with the small needle.
6 strands was used with the medium needle.
-------------------
My (personal) result / opinion ?
--------------------
Using 2 threads was a bit 'fussy'.
I had to be VERY attentive,
for proper coverage.
Definitely would not want to punch
large areas with this 'fine' punch.
Best suitable for very small designs.
For ease of punching,
I prefer the three strands in the small needle.
Easy on the hand and the wrist.
Good coverage.
Love the end result (the 'look').
Punching moves along quickly.
The 6 strands in the medium needle,
took more effort to punch through the fabric.
My hand was tired from holding onto
the punchneedle with a firmer grip.
(Overall, takes just a little more effort to drive
a heavier needle continuously through
the Weavers Cloth.)
But, I also like the final result (the 'look'),
of the 6 strands.
Fast coverage.
