Hello everyone!

Is there a set of thread packs that would cover all the DMC pearl
cotton range? I want to buy myself a set here before I go back home,
and the local Michaels only has individual threads hanging.

Shanti.

On the same theme, can perle cotton be used for freehand embroidery? I
mean for cushions, pillow-cases, table cloths, serviettes, etc? Or is
it only used for counted work? Most examples I've come across deal with
hardanger, needlepoint and blackwork.

Shanti.
