Dear All
I also use architects linen where I can when I work needlelace but agree
with Catherine that architects linen is very pale. I had a reasonable
store of this as I worked in a solicitors office and they used to use it for
the plans on legal documents but now that everything is computerised they no
longer have the linen. Other than this I use the sticky backed plastic
which is either dark green or a darkish blue which does, in my view, work
just as well. But it is a case of what works for you is best and as long
as the lace looks good then the ends often justifies the means!!! The most
important thing to do is to enjoy what you do. I do generally work on a
pillow for my needlelace. For me it works very well but I have worked it
in my hand but again it is a case of what suits you best.
As for the Parasol for Iris that Catherine has worked, it is wonderful.
Apart from the Lace Day for the GofN do you teach any courses nowadays
Catherine?
