I was surprised recently when i experimented with green card and than continued working on to an orange piece, to discover that the contrast was so much better with white thread on orange than green (which I find better than the normal blue). I had pinned the orange card on part way through working the lace, and then forgotten I was doing this trial. I suddenly found it all looked much better and realised that I had I reached the orange.
I am hoping this message trims alright. I am working on my dad's computer and think it has trimmed, but am not sure!
