Dear Lace Experts, This subject, written about yesterday, resulted in some fresh Arachne mail, as intended. Much was personal - just to me, so the list did not see them. Here are a couple items to remind everyone: 1. Sometimes my mail from AOL does not get delivered. It happens only with some other companies (Hotmail was one this time around). I am beyond ever trying to fight this issue again with AOL technicians. When you see a reply to one of my mails, you can quickly find it in our archives. Most recent mail is listed on the page that pops up when you access: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html 2. I can tell you this particular mail reached Arachne members in Poland and Australia, so it does work. 3. One personal reply asked "What is Orvus?". I have been writing to Arachne for 20 years, and given detailed instructions for washing laces at least twice a year. Go to the archive address in 1. above, and type in the subject line: Jeri Ames, Orvus Or: Orvus, Jeri Ames There are 34 memos to read. Or......if you have a very large amount of time, enter: Jeri Ames There are 1,465 matches. That means a lot of diverse info about laces. Suggestion: Some people have made copies of what has been written about lace care and history, and put them in their own binder for future use. For the cost of printing and a binder, you can make a useful book, and you can prepare a local lace group program about what you have learned here on Arachne about caring for lace. Yes, there are some books (rare), but they do not acknowledge that distilled or de-ionized water should be used. Be as aware as a small child, and know that tap water has pollutants, chemicals and minerals in it. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center
