I don't know much about using wire but I was making a flower yesterday that has to be gathered after laced. I decided to use wire in one area to stiffen it and it turned out pretty nice. The other threads were DMC 40. I used 34 gauge wire for this. It is the first flower in "Flower Fantasy" by Rosemary Shepherd. I used the wire in place of the red thread.
