Dawn I have not found any local Sacramento source for anything other than very inexpensive fake fur. If I were looking for decent fake fur, I'd try on-line sources. You can always request samples before placing an order. Joan Jurancich [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

You can always request samples before placing an order. I've found Hancock's to often have good (if somewhat expensive) fake fur. I don't know, though, if there are any Hancock's left in Sacramento after the big reorganization. Otherwise I'd suggest doing a run to San Francisco. Discount Fabrics (4 shops around town, the one in the Haight is pretty good, and the one in the SOMA is huge) has always had a good selection of fake fur. Mendel's Art (also in the Haight, about 3 doors down from Discount) has great fake fur. Online, check out Monterey Mills http://www.montereymills.com/. Their website is frightening, but their product is excellent. andy ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I expect this is an example of this work. To duplicate without learning the specific stitch pattern, two layers will be required. In this case, considering that one side of the embroidery is arabesques -- a curling leaf and vine pattern -- and the other side is a simple diamond grid, I think two layers of cloth is a more likely explanation. These patterns have such completely different structure that I can't think of any way that working one on one side of the cloth could produce the other pattern on the other side. Most, if not all, of the blackwork patterns I've seen that do have different sides are pure counted-thread double running stitch. They are not this kind of flowing, curvy line thing, which was more likely worked in stem stitch or other line stitches.
