I remember a few weeks ago watching a demonstration on do a short row heel that involved safety heels and another one that used bobby pins.argh I can't find where I put it. Can anyone help me? please? It looked very easy and there did not seem to be holes and no awful wraps.

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for sharing these! The patterns are great and so timely. The piece is lovely, and I love that you have popped out the individual hearts.

Re: [lace] DMC Dyed Threads; Conservation Advice on Using for Gimps

Don't we have one? Named Jeri Ames? Louise in Central Virg inia Thank you, Louise. But Therese de Dillmont (who died in 1890) and Jeri Ames are not in the same league. Therese (apparently) made a great deal of lace, embroidery, crochet, etc. and was deeply indoctrinated in various textile skills at an early age. She had influence on the threads being produced by a major manufacturer for use in creating decorative textiles. And she was author of books still consulted today. (Her books were of a promotional nature, and we will never know how much they were edited by her employer. Still, it is her name that is remembered, perhaps more often than DMC!) My retirement path is about textile conservation and restoration, book collecting and reviews, and history of those in the international needlework communities who came before us - our ancestors in all nations. These, because of personal studies through the years and because so few people are similarly focused. My "wish upon a star" is to see others take up sharing the gaps in lace/embroidery knowledge and making. What would our Arachne readers like to know that is not being addressed? Maybe there is something that was taken for granted 100 years ago. Take one on, and within a short time you will be doing something shareable - like Noelene's lace poetry, Brenda's lace thread sizing comparisons, Lauran's use of precious gold and silver wires to make lace jewelry, Jane's ready answers about tape laces (of the Battenburg type). There is room for all skills. We need to constantly document and save them for future generations.

Re: [lace] Thread size and type
And something else I just did, check the size the garment will take. Guess what neither one I had in mind will take the size of lace, :-( So as I still want to make it I will need to decide on a different piece of clothing with the area to take it. Its too nice to let go at this moment. Thank you Sue Sue T If you are using it on a piece of clothing which will be laundered, do make sure that whatever thread you choose is colour-fast Sue Babbs suebabbs...@gmail.com -Original Message- - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
