    It it like the Gudebrod trimar? The only problem with it is that it only comes in size C.
    If it different than that, we'll probably need a picture of some sort. It also may be worth a trip to your local fabric/craft store.
    Just be careful with 40 weight thread. I experimented with it quite a bit, but had trouble getting consistant results. It tries to get splotchy. If you have to use it, keep the tension as completely consistent as you can, and pack, pack, pack. At the ferrule, you might be better off because you don't have a guide foot to complicate the issue. It does work better if you use it without CP and try to get it to go transparent.
