The detail of the chain is great, because it gives better fall to the pledge. I always include in the soil hemmed in jackets and coats inside a chain or lead weights at the seams, especially if they are made of fabrics bouclé or light wool. I said, congratulations and enjoy this magnificent pledge. Greetings. Paco.<BR/><BR/>AH!. You already included in my blog.
