You can use it as a basting thread or hem things in those colors. I mostly throw it away. I used to stash it in its own bag with thread nr but I never used it. The thread is so cheap in view to all the work you put in a piece of lace that I consider it a waste to keep it. But there are always

Yes, I always put too much thread on my bobbins too, mostly adding a bit extra just to be sure and better safe than sorry :-) But when I keep to the three times and a little bit extra it has always been enough but I am still a bit unsure about it and I have been making lace for about 10 years on

From: Weronika Patena [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Whenever I do a lace project, I end up with lots of thread left on the bobbins. How do you deal with this? Is it possible to figure out how much thread a project will take so that not much is left over? 1. Thread is not all that expensive.

And even if there are a lot of thread on one bobbin you have to roll it on to two if you don?t make lace where you start with a knot, and then the thread is sooo much shorter (found out the hard way with a lot of work winding new bobbins!) on two bobbins. I must admit that when I make

Thanks! That's a lot of information! 1. Thread is not all that expensive. Even though a spool might cost USD8.00, there's enough to do a lot of projects from that spool. Much of my thread is not worth (to me) the time and effort to store for re-use. Probably true... I save up the

Hi All, I've loved reading about all the lace people are making! I am working on a piece of tape lace (Battenberg type) in some wonderful gold tape. I've always loved this tape - bright metallic gold, 5mm or less (under 1/4) and tightly woven. A couple months ago I finally used some and now

Hy, A very nice lady made some beautiful pieces of lace: little torchon mat insert in a metallic ring, add beads in the middle and little little bobbins at the end. It looks very pretty. Sometime she put a little note from the heart. You could make them for Christmas and for all occasions.

This is so true ! That's why I am never in any great hurry to finish a lace. The making of the lace is more important than finishing it. Best wishes Sulochona I think the reality is that I'm in pursuit of the skill, not the material product. For me, it's the journey, not the destination.
