Re: [lace] DMC Broder Machine 50

[Anna Binnie]

I have just discovered Aurifil. It comes from Italy and it comes in 3 
sizes 28, 40 and 50. The DMC equivalents are, Broder Machine 30  = 
Aurilil 28 and Broder 50  = Aurifil 50. best part is that if you are 
working Flanders or Point Ground laces, the Aurifil 50 and 28 can be 
used together as base thread and gimp. Oh it also has a silky shine when 
worked up.


Check out you local quilting shops. They have huge colour range as well.

Thank you very much Karen for this link. It is fantastic. I especially
appreciate to be able to to see the enlarged pieces of lace so clearly and
neatly. This is a very valuable page to learn more about lace!

Best wishes from Antje, in Spain.

Re: [lace] DMC Broder Machine 50

[Brenda Paternoster]

That’s interesting.

The Madeira UK website has no mention of cotton threads at all that I could
find! but Barnyarns, one of the biggest embroidery/haberdashery retailers do
stock cotona so it must be available.
http://www.barnyarns.co.uk/cotona-tanne-cotton/


DMC also seem to have stopped making machine embroidery thread (which is what
Tanne and Broder Machine is/was designed for).

The nearest alternative I can suggest for a fine, coloured cotton thread is
Superior Threads Masterpiece - with this caveat:
The reel I have is clearly marked as 50/3, and I have measured it as 2Z - 38
wraps/cm
On the Superior Threads website
http://www.superiorthreads.com/cotton-threads/

they say that it is a 3 ply thread, 50/3.  If that is correct then they have
changed the construction and it might now be rather thicker.

[lace] Lutac (oops!) and Trillium

[H M Clarke]

Firstly, a huge thank you to the very kind people (and Adele ;-) ) who answered 
my question about Lutac lace. It would seem that this is a modern lace that has 
some devoted followers but has never made it to the main stream. Who knows, 
though, what the future holds - perhaps one of the devotees will take it to the 
next level and teach others?

For my second question, I am wondering if any of my fellow Canadians know what 
the situation is with Trillium Lace? I went to place an order and I got a 
warning that the site has possibly been hacked. My emails have gone unanswered. 
I really hope that this last remaining Canadian source hasn't disappeared. 
Anyone able to shed some light on the situation? In the meantime, I'm keeping 
my fingers crossed that she is just on vacation ...

Thanks in advance,

Helen (in dark but still warm British Columbia on the west coast of mainland 
Canada, just down the road a bit from Adele)

Dear spiders worldwide

 

As the number of fine threads in colour are diminishing just as coloured
lace is becoming more popular, can anyone tell me of a good replacement for
DMC Broder Machine 50 in colours.

 

I don't know if the lack of choice is only in this country or if it comes
from DMC itself but the only colours available are pale pink and pale blue.

 

Madeira cotona 50 has also been discontinued in colours.

 

 

thanks for your advice in advance.
