Mary send the following to lace-chat recently, and I thought I'd move it to lace, 'specially seeing things seem a bit slow. I'll send a reply in a separate message.
Mary writes: Okay, here's a newby question asked to me by another newby, and it had me thinking. She found some pre-made linen hankerchiefs in her basement and wants to add a lace edging to them. I know to use cotton thread on cotton, or linen thread on a linen hankerchief. Should we: a. wash the hankerchief and lace edging before attaching the lace, and hope the lace fits after washing b. wash the hankerchief, then attach the lace and hope the lace doesn't shrink after attaching it c. attach the lace, then wash them & hope if there is shrinking, they'll shrink at the same rate d. forget about useing a pre-made hankerchief, but make the lace the size we want, wash it, then cut pre-shrunk fabric to fit the lace e. something I haven't thought of (all suggestions welcome!)
