Sue: I have a similar question. If the book didn't take another walk :)
By what sizing/ weight system is ordinary sewing thread 60 or 60/2? Now, I'm having REAL trouble getting this one. I think. I read an awful lot of e-mails at 2:00 this morning. Conceivable someone answered it and it went by. I kind of have a vague memory of getting a reply on the subject I couldn't make sense of - instead of giving the answer he went through some math, not sure on what. What is the tex or deniere size of Madeira tanne 80 thread? What system exactly is it Madeira uses? I have tried asking them - getting everything but the answer! In fact, it sounded as if the salesman had never head of a thread size.
