I did a weave tonight using Sulky red and yellow thread and Madeira black thread as the background. When I put the CP on the weave the black color bled through. I am glad that it was not a very hard weave to do. Has anyone had that problem with Madeira black thread and Flex Coat CP?

Actually...No...And I use a lot of Madeira AND Flexcoat CP. Now wrapping light over dark is a bleep and the slightest inconsistancy in thread packing (my personal @#$%&) is going to stick out like a sore thumb but given your level of skill I would be far more likely to blame the thread. Any chance that the tread got contaminated with something that would effect the thread in such a way.

Do you have a picture?

Ellis; Are you saying that the dye bled through or that you were able to see the black thread though the other thread on top? Was the Black Polyneon?

The dye bled through and it was a tight wrap. I think my problem was more with the Sulky thread after giving it more thought. When I put on the CP the threads in the weave became very loose. I have had that happen with thread that was not polyneon. I probably used Sulky in rayon. The spools are not marked. I have pulled all of the Sulky thread out of my stock. Last week I did a weave with all Madeira thread with no problem.
