I think Terry means if I would please confirm the thickness of the memory wire.

First, as the numbers get higher with memory wire, does the wire get
thicker or thinner?

Secondly, the memory wire I require does not have to be very thick.
You just need some wire that can hold a few twists and a little bit of
shaping. It also needs to be thin enough for a seed bead to slide onto
it. So, if your seed beads slide on a 24 gauge wire, then use a 24
gauge wire. If your seed beads are happily sliding on an 18 gauge,
then by all means please use your 18 inch.

Besides, you don't or won't need much wire for the secondary project.
And ... I hope people don't run out and buy a ton of stuff that might
not be needed. With beading it is a little tough to ask for super
specific supplies because there comes a point where you, the crafter,
need to make some decisions on design. Also, some crafters prefer
different types of materials to what I might recommend. so, I try to
be specific without being specific. *grin*
