Be aware of straws !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the USA people under us their should be reading now under the text "do not do this at home"!!!!! SO be aware of straws!!!!!! they can cause more dammage then doing any good to your work mostly it is of fine plastic/plastoïde material whit extra harding compounds to make it tough for drinking/sipping now because of the toughness of the plastic it works quite offen like a knif on your threads if you use very fine silks made of flos silk/ continuous silk you can have very very unwanted fibres cuttings and so you get some fluffyness on the threads beleve me a "catastrophe general total" their is a special silk-knot i learn all people wanting to see it i promise to put it as fast as possible on the internet to show to all of you i do not have a camera so it will be still fotos all whom i learned it say WOW is it that simple yes it is and it is a world of difference some are more underneath their table looking for the unwounded bobins and rewinding them then making lace i have the very unwanted feeling that to many people do not know the basic of lace they can make binche vallencienne and most other extremly time consuming laces but the real basic before you start is mostly lacking...... in most of their minds they are here (in the payed classes) to do lace not to wound bobbins.......... mostly they do it at home between their patatoe peeling and the carots-scrapping that gives an idea of how important they think it is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! it is of the uttermost importancel!!! that is were the "catastrophe general total" begins and not the sice of the bobin the color of the bobin the extra head or what ever nope no no i promise to put the fotos on a website this weekend it will be in english, well you knwo my english (Belgo-beneluxenglish) but you will nderstand kind regards francis Karen schreef: > That's what I used the straws for but it didn't work for me!
