Once upon a time, not so long ago, you wrote what I thought was a very helpful post about how you knot your strung pieces, and perhaps it dealt with Fireline, and what diameter you found most useful. Do you happen to have that post handy? If not, could you help me find it? Ive googled using the search words Fireline Kathy and am getting a lot of hits, to many to sort thru. I promise, this time I will print it and save it next to Sooz's bead size chart. Im about to make my first purchase of Fireline because you speak so highly of it, but dont know which diameter might be the best for me. I plan to make necklaces, but wouldnt mind trying my hand at making an amulet bag sometime. Its a matter of making the money go the farthest. Thanks Muchly, Diana

Here is the article I found referring to PowerPro/Fireline, and it has the whole thread thing I did for the Beadnotes:
I mainly use the 8 lb. PowerPro in white, and the 4 lb. Charcoal FireLine.
There appears to be no difference (except price) from Fishing Store line and Bead Store line. This is one place where you can save money without sacrificing quality.
One big thing - because of the danger of losing a needle and the subsequent possibility of Sophie eating it, I always use doubled thread tied with a normal overhand knot. I know that most bead people really like single threads, but the danger to others makes it a no-go in my house.
