Like Clay, I too found Arachne when I first started making bobbin lace some 10 years ago, and I was all alone in a small country town, and ill enough to devote my time to teaching myself from books.
Arachne was a godsend, with so much useful information pouring in whenever I asked a question. There seems to me to be too few beginners on Arachne lately, asking beginner's questions. I still find that whenever even the simplest of questions is asked (like the recent one on covering foam for pillows), the information that surfaces always contains new ideas. So please, Nancy, if you've come "unstuck", let us know what the problem is, and see if we can help.

Some people cut lovely new fabric Just to sew it together again. But me, I like to use bobbins, I weave patterns in thread without fear. And if someone should say it's so useless, "So are peacocks and rainbows, my dear" [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
