Thank you, Devon, for 2 very interesting articles in the Bulletin. It sounds
like you had a good time at the Convention!
And an especially big Thank You for the article on the Gardner Museum. I am
sure there are many lacemakers like me, who can only view these wonderful
places through other

In answer to your second question, the rings which are an
alternative to the green horseshoe:
The ring is a piece of flexible tubing which has a small
post to join the two ends. In the package, you get two
different sized rings. If neither of these is big enough,
you can join the two for a much

Thanks for the information on the ring. I'm going to stop at the hardware
store after work and pick up some plastic tubing. I can make my ring and use a
piece of dowel to put it together.

Hey all,
I was out running errands today and found some plastic tubing at Wal-Mart.
My thanks to Eva in Spain for mentioning it is used in aquariums. 8' for

Dear Arachnes,
I'm getting very interested in needlelace and am working on my first
sampler. In many of the books I've acquired, the authors refer to a tool
called a afficot, a wooden tool for polishing threads, mostly in Gros Point
de Venise. They say that poor lacers also made them out of
Yes indeed, that is the story. It is used to press down one part of the lace
so as to raise and emphasise another part pf the design.
Some time ago I made a few sets of needle lace tools that include an afficot,
lifters, ringsticks etc. I thought I would buy my Mercedes on the proceeds,
but

Yes, to your second question. Either can be used when making tape/braid

Valerie,
It is used on laces to keep the threads on your pillow from getting frayed

Brugge because you are turning the pillow quite often while you are making
the lace.
I suppose you could use it for other laces that
