Hi Diana - I'm glad to hear it!! 'Cos that's why I made a conscious decision to only use threads made for lacemaking!! If I'm going to put all that effort into making a piece of lace, I like it to present itself to the world as if it's saying "wow! look at me" rather than "oh dear, I'm exhausted from all that sitting on the pillow - all I want to do is go to sleep"!!!!
I'm not into contemporary or coloured lace - strictly a "traditional" girl, me -so it was an easy decision to make. And may I assure all of you who use DMC and other threads, I'm not criticising your choice - just explaining what I do and why.
