HI All I have encountered a small problem that I thought I would post so that any inexperienced lace makers as myself can see the solution.
I am making an edging, the book says to use DMC Cotton Perle 8 with DMC 80 Cordonnet Special. Well I have the Perle but didn't have any Cordonnet, so I have used Venus 70 instead. My problem is that it is very hard work as they seem to be fighting each other by that I mean that tensioning is very difficult as they don't slide if that is the right word. I have also substituted the Perle for double Venus for the outer fan edging so I could have the right colour. Is there a tip so that I can ensure this doesn't happen when I try to use substitute threads. If only we had the money to get the correct threads each time. I am slowly building up my thread library so fingers crossed in the next 30 years I might have the right ones each time LOL.
