Good advice Jeri..... and I was thinking the *dollar store* varieties might be worth trying. The *starch* would be more expensive than the lace! If I do get a bowl of lace made - I will keep notes on the medium used and how it behaves. I don't recall if Martha mentioned what she was using - as I was just 'flipping channels to find the news' and there she was spreading her lace over bowls and talking about what a nice way to show off our heirlooms. (I cringed.)
Nova (sunny E.Monday on the west coast of B.C.) ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Nova and Others interested, Answer: The goo would probably not come out completely. I've not tried to reverse the new craft stiffeners, but know old starches do not soak completely out of old laces. The new commercial products seem to be quite thick, making reversing a large project.questionable. You could test it first. If you do, please report results back to Arachne. Not knowing exactly what Martha Stewart is using as a craft stiffening medium (contents), I would advise against for anything special, such as a few doilies that are all you inherited from your dearest Grandmother. Mass produced doilies from the Orient are fair game for crafts.
