Hi!! I bought DMC thread for a particular alpha, and thought I would use my black DMC thread for the base strings, but I don't think I have enough for the base strings and knotting string for the background, which will mean I'll need a lot...yay 😂 so I was wondering if I could use my Amazon thread (which is slightly thicker) with my DMC thread? Like will it be uneven if I use it?

As long as you use one brand of string as base string and one brand of string for the leading string it will be fine. It will only be uneven if you use more than one brand for the base strings and more than one brand for the leading string.

Actually it depends on size of the sizes of the two brands are the same you defientely can mix and match I have used both thin and thicker thread in the same bracelets and it’s a little harder but I am pretty sure most amazon threads have the same thickness of dmc

Oh and even if the base amazon thread is slightly thicker it you can’t see much of a difference there’s no problem or you can double up the dmc base strings to be as thick as the amazon threads
