    Picked up a DPM Saracen MMPS zip down. How to make it work with PLCE?

    Yep that’s right, a big needle with small thread would be rubbish and look terrible aswell

    That thread on the right is VERY heavy. The guterman stuff will be fine tbh, it’s surprisingly strong - I use it in a sewing machine

    Picked up a DPM Saracen MMPS zip down. How to make it work with PLCE?
