Much as I enjoy computers as tools, I can't say that I'm in love with them. I love bobbins, and I am in love with making lace by hand. That is the complexity that has me hooked.>
It does not take much learning to use the embroidery machines these days, just a case of installing the file and threading the needle and away it goes. I have a number of lace ornaments on my tree that I made with the machine, but doing a search on Advanced Embroider for Bobbin Lace, I was surprised at how they mimic bobbin lace rather than just being lacy embroidery. https://www.advanced-embroidery-designs.com/cgi-bin/cart/store.cgi?keyword=bobbin+lace&action=search Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, jblace.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
