I have taught myself "Couching" with bullion wire by disassembling old badges and such and seeing how they were put together. Now I am on a quest to find a supplyer of the bullion wire. I really don't want to destroy any more old pieces to canabalize the wire, plus I want the nice new bright metal tones. There MUST be a supplyer closer then Pakistan, which is the ONLY place I've found so far with ALOT of searching. Can anyone help? Does anyone else do this kind of embroidery?

badges are the traditional things you see on military uniforms,etc.
This looks like a wonderful source of supplies.
