D97 get that fixed or it will just keep fray away.
Adam any needle will do as long as it's easy to work with. Thread is more important.
When I am blanket-stitching the buttonhole, is there anything I need to do to secure the old thread to prevent it from continuing to unravel after the repair?
From what I learned online, I was just going to begin the repair stitch within what's left of the original seam, and work my way around the buttonhole. Will this essentially "knot" the original thread?

Yep you will basically incase the old thread under the new. There is another type of stitch especially for button holes but its a little harder and not common so won't find too much on line. I'll post it over the repair thread to night

Has anyone been in contact with DC4 lately? I have sent them two jeans to hem two weeks ago and I still haven’t got them back. They don’t answer my e-mails and their phone seems to be busy the whole time.

I know that Daniel's on vacation for two weeks, but should be back soon. Don't worry, they'll help you out soon.

when things settle down a bit at the castle can a controlled experiment be done on some Iron Heart patches comparing the effects of mustang paste, obenaufs lp, & obenaufs - lo. i know from personal use that the obenaufs lp cause the leather to get an almost reddish/orange hue to it. what does the obenaufs lp & the mustang paste do?
that's all for the moment
