Thank you, Jeri, for all the good advice you have given us over the years. I'm sure most Arachnes appreciate your sharing the knowledge you have learned by diligent study; I know I do. I have a folder that I put many of your "pearls of wisdom" into. I suggest that the younger lacemakers do the same.
We do appreciate you, Jeri. Louise in Central Virginia ~~~~~~~~~~~On Wed.

The average age of our lace community is growing older, and the time will come when less and less experts volunteer to dispense free information! Many of you are not learning about threads in home economics classes any more. The activity that ages all textiles more than wearing them is washing or dry cleaning. Therefore, I have written a number of memos that are in the Arachne archives about the precautions to take to keep lace clean and as close as possible to its original condition - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
