How do I put a thread texture on a surface? 2009

All I want to do is put a friggin thread texture on asurface.... In 2008 it was easy, and of course with 2009 it's not.I found the texture, after digging and digging, but it doesnt giveme any options to scale or rotate the texture like 2008 did. Whatam I missing?
