Jana Novak's books do talk about starching on the pillow. When I tried it, with the starch I have available, it bled through the pinholes and messed up my pillow. Since then, I remove the finished lace from the pillow and re-pin it on a plastic-wrap- covered cardboard. If the starch goes through the pinholes to the cardboard, it won't hurt anything.
The other thing is the pins. The starch sticks to the pins as well as the lace. I keep a separate set of pins that are used only for starching, thus my good pins remain clean, and I don't have the chore of washing pins after every starching. This is strictly personal opinion. If you have a different kind of starch, you may have different results that I had. Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon -- with a sunny but cool weekend. --- Clay Blackwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > When you make the figures in her Nativity sets, she > has you starch them > prior to taking them off the pillow. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
