  1. My wife had purchased this a long time ago and created it. Last year she gave to to a lady in our church with health issues. Since then my wife has passed away and I am trying to replicate this beautiful image of Madonna and child. However I am unable to find the DMC floss 284Z. Can you direct me to where I can purchase this DMC Floss? Thank You Roger (King.misfit@comcast.net)

    1. Hi Roger! This DMC color is no longer available, since the design was created in 1994, some colors were discontinued. You can substitute it with any metallic embroidery thread you see fit. I am going to make this embroidery and was looking also for finished works (hence this comment) and for substites. I found several options: DMC Diamant D3852; DMC E3852 or E3821 (I'm going to use the last one); Kreinik #4 028 Citron; Rainbow Gallery PB01 Bright Gold. Honestly each option is very nice, there is no Kreinik available now in Russia, so I opted for DMC. I see this is an old post, but hope maybe someone looking for substitutes will find my comment useful.
