No idea what kind of thread - whatever was in teh machine. Probably not the best quality.

Carla - hope to get a couple bags in the mail to you this weekend if all goes well.

What kind of thread did you use?

sure Carla - I may have one in my sewing closet actually. Email me at steph (underscore) lamphere (at) yahoo (dot ) com and I will send you one, if I have one or certainly try to remember the next time I have another. Also have beer grain bags and rice bags of similar woven fabric (though much softer).

What part of the country do you live in? Our seed bags are no way like this. Could I get you to mail me one of you next empty bird seed bags before your husband throw it away. It's odd, but my nature loving college daughter is saving all kinds of sunflower seed bags that I get to put up in her room as posters! I live in Indiana. All I ever get when I buy seed is paper bags.
