7/10: buying

...the right color of thread to bind pamphlets made from an awkward shade of off-white/ivory/cream.  I usually use thin crochet thread for binding, but the stores here don't have a shade that works, so I've been trying different embroidery flosses.  I finally found one that blends with the paper in an okay way, and I realized that if I use 4 strands of the floss rather than all 6, the cleaner, less bulky line made by the thread fits better with the small size of my pamphlets.  I happily used it to bind a batch of new pamphlets, and I even re-bound an older pamphlet for which I had used a less-good color match and 6 strands.  It looks so much better now.
