    Just needed Dragon thread. I had some other kind & it keep splitting & fraying. Going to throw it away. I don't know the brand or size. I was using it because it was green & went with the pansy & leaves picture I made for a friend.

    Overall I have a very favorable opinion of Potomac beads.

    I absolutely hate the forced response to add-on items at the end of the ordering process. I accidentally clicked "yes" and it tacked on an $18.99 item I didn't want to my order without a way to back it out. I may not order from this site again as a result!
