Your post is going to be printed out and put in my "essential lace info" folder. You're right about the information not finding a permanent home in my brain...there was so much to learn and remember.
I think you're right about the threads untwisting as I worked. I tried to retwist...when I could remember. Problem was some had worn down to 1 ply by the time I got to the end. I did use your sewing technique, but the thread was just too fragile. As your Milanese student, I would like to say you are a great teacher and I hope you come back to Ithaca soon. I learned so much, but realize there is also so much more to learn. Peg who should really be getting dressed and going grocery shopping...but this is more fun. ________________________________ From: Jacquie Tinch <laceandb...@aol.com> To: Witchy Woman <wytchy...@sbcglobal.net> Cc: "lace@arachne.com" <lace@arachne.com> Sent: Sat, January 7, 2012 4:29:28 AM Subject: Re: [lace] Thread problem As Peg's teacher for the Milanese class I'd like to say a couple of things. I suspect the threads weren't 'wearing out', just untwisting. This was one of the things I told the class to watch out for (and if they saw it happening to retwist any affected threads), but I was giving out a lot of information at Ithaca and not all of it finds a permanent home in every brain.
