[lace] Black silk thread

2014-02-26 Thread Miriam Gidron
I put all the names in the hat and went over to my neighbor to take out the
winner's name.

The winner is Janice Blair.

Janice please send me your address, I won't be in your area in the very
near future.

[lace] Digitizing designs?

2014-02-26 Thread Janice Blair
Hi Clay,
I think I remember someone mentioned free machine embroidery designs
for things like bobbins.  Does anyone else know of free machine embroidery
designs on our subject now that I have an embroidery machine? 

Sorry I can't
help you with names in New England.
Janice 

Does anyone in this list remember
who the lacemakers are in the New 
England area who digitize designs for
embroidery machines?

I vaguely remember that Sally Barry was one of them, but
have not been 
able to contact her.  Any help refreshing my memory would be
greatly 
appreciated!!

[lace] Slovenska Republika viscose thread

2014-02-26 Thread hottleco
Hello All!  A friend gave me a lovely ball of 100% viscose Kordonet thread 
marked Vyrobca:  Sana V.D. Presov.  The weight seems to be similar to perle #5 
or slightly heavier.  Does anyone have info to share about this thread?  It's 
pretty heavy for lace, although it might work for gimp.  My friend had it left 
over from a knitting project.  Many thanks.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm 
Beach Gardens, FL, USA 85* sunny  breezy today

I think I had already replied to Clay privately, but the people in New
England were Sally Barry and Carolyn Hastings.  Their website is no longer
active, but I believe that if you contacted Carolyn she might be able to
help.

[lace] thread question

2014-02-26 Thread Donna Fousek
Hi. I hope I can find out what is the wraps for Madeira Aerofil No. 35. I have
looked in Brenda's book but could not find it. I wish to substitute with a
thread I have in my stash. Any information would be helpful. Thank you all in
advance.

Hi All,

I have a Brother Quatro 6000D (Embroidery Machine) which has a pad connected
to the machine, a built in program and a pen(also connected to the machine) so
you can trace an outline and it is automatically placed in the machine's
design program.  The defining of line thickness, stitch density and colour are
then determined.

If you have a friend with a newish embroidery machine (most brands would be
able to do what mine can) they might do it for you.

This a trace-and-colour process which is the domestic equivalent of
digitizing.  Works beautifully using childrens' colouring books, but does not
do anything too complicated.
