Hi Bev
Can you get common or garden cotton sylko 50 (Amman/Coats) - or any
other cotton intended for regular machine stitching of seams?

Hello everyone
...and anyone who does Cantù lace, just a question - what thread(s) do
you use?
I'm working on a simple piece, thread specified is just 'no. 40 for
Cantù which I'm guessing is one listed in Brenda's thread book as the
Filato per Tombolo variety.
I don't have that, have tried Finca for lace 40 and 30, and now Coats
Encaje 30, this last one looks the best. It isn't easily available,
that I've seen though.
I might start tinkering with enlarging the pattern to try other
round-y threads, such as Cebelia 30.
