Hi Debbie,
Now i understand. Many thanks for your informations.
You know we call this paper silk paper in Denmark because the ships that
carried silks from china had them wrapped with this paper.

Rats- my dictionary stinks. It doesnt have the word "tissue paper".
Is this the same as Kitchen Rolls are made of?
Because i got the advise to use this on hoop frames, when embroidering,
cover the edge with this paper to protekt from dirt.
No, it's not kitchen paper - it's the stuff that expensive clothes, and
breakable things (china, etc) are wrapped in when you buy them (in the UK
at
least).

The reason to use tissue is that you can use a sheet and treat it as one
with
the fabric when putting it in the hoop, then tear away the middle bit, so
that the work area is uncovered but the edges are still protected.
But as long as you were careful when cutting away the middle bit, I don't
see
why you couldn't use calico. Or even kitchen paper for that matter.
The main thing is to have something reasonably soft to stop the hoop
making
marks on the fabric, (which it does because the tightness of the grip).
Also,
if you're not using a stand, if you leave a bit of the protective material
overlapping the edge where you're holding the frame it'll help to reduce
the dirt
from your fingers that gets onto the work, thereby meaning less cleaning
when
you're finished of course.
Debbie.
