Oh Sue, what a pity as it's such a beautiful veil! I would suggest that you
try to find a similar piece of net to place underneath the hole and
carefully stitch it in place, then make a Honiton flower/spray of leaves to
echo those already worked, and appliqué/stitch them in position over the
Dear Friends
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent me information about this problem
and it would appear that I'm not the only one to have encountered this very

Jeri,
I am sure you know from your research that matters such as copyright do
not stand still, as just occasionally laws are changed and new, more

Arachne for us to need to cull discussions at the moment, in fact it has
been
Seconding Jeri's point about relevant subject descriptions to facilitate using
the archives, may I also ask you to all check you are using the correct email
address to send your posts to Arachne.

Dear Sue,
A friend's granddaughter is getting married in September, and
thinking of wearing the Brussels Lace veil, which has been worn by
50 or so brides in the family. So it has been brought out for
inspection, and a jagged edge tear discovered in it.
I was sent photos today to see what I
A small hole in a veil, but a world of trouble for an amateur who might
try to help. In my experience, when I try to do such a mend, the minute I
start to work on such a thing all the surrounding thread disintegrates because
it is very old and cannot withstand much handling. Then you are
As Jane pointed out, not everyone remembers (or if someone is new to
Arachne, doesn't know) where to find the Archives. Would it be possible for
our dear moderator, Avital to include it in the footer that appears on each
message?
Just a thought.

I looked at the photos of the veil and in the picture with the coin it
is possible to see that the lace is Princess Lace. This should make it
easier to find a redundant piece of princess lace to be able to mend the
net or make a new flower sprig to cover the tear. Princess lace often
seems to
When I get an email that I want to save, but I don't like what is on the
subject line... I hit forward and send it to myself with the proper word on
the subject line. Then I can find it again very easily.

Hello Alex and everyone
The Cassells publication was my lace friend for a long time. I read it like
a book, cover to cover when I first got it! Some entries inspired me to try
something new - I made a Midlands bolster from its entry. During a library
pruning I gave my copy to a newcomer to lace
