Has anyone had problems with pressing lace that is combined with metallic threads? In the embroidery community, we have been advised to test (with an iron) before using any metallic thread in combination with any fabric we intend to wash that may need pressing at some time in future. It has been some time since I've purchased metallics, but based on stories I've heard, it seems to make sense to test. Run a warm-to-hot iron over the end of thread -- about 1" should be enough to get a reaction. Problem is, linen often needs more than warm temperature. Be sure to read labels regarding pressing metallics. Jeri Ames Lace and Embroidery Resource Center
