Exactly my thoughts and those of the lace teacher in Gozo. She feels that ironing does the same and even when I suggested doing that with the lace covered in a towel I still got the same doubtful reply. Thanks for taking the time to reply to this question and that of the bangles as well (those of you who did). As for looking for replies on the archives, I must admit that I forget them but, on the other hand, if any new techniques or ideas have come about in the meantime then they will be missed.

Personally, I do not like the look of this as it is flatter. I like the dimensionality of fresh made lace :-) Lauren in Snohomish WA - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
