Susan
Thanks for the info on websites. Mary Corbett has several pages on tambour 
embroidery, a form of lace. She is quite good.

Two of my favorite sites are Mary Corbet's Needle 'N Thread & Tricia Nguyen's 
Thistle Threads. Both cover embroidery--soup to nuts!

[lace] Scissor for lace

[Janice Blair]

Lucky you Susan. What nice prize, stork scissors with pretty handles and a
beautiful carrying case.  I have many pairs of stork scissors but the only
specialized pair of scissors for lace are the Carrickmacross ones that have
the blunt end on one side for cutting close to the net and organza.

p.s. Jeri, I did not correct Anny's name as I forwarded the email from Greet
exactly as she wrote it.  Maybe being one of her close lace friends, it is
Belgium spelling of her name.

Oh Susan, you lucky, lucky lady!  I've just looked at your fabulous prize and 
they are to die for!  The beautiful wooden case too, an absolute dream.  I 
thought I must have a pair, until I looked at the price plus shipping of course 
and customs charges for us in the UK.  Oh well, one can dream.  

Such good news about your husband too and know how that feels, as my husband 
has also been one of the lucky ones with regard to cancer. 

Happy New Year to all and happy lacemaking.

Subject : [lace] scissors for lace?


 These tiny beauties are beyond exquisite & they cut like a dream. Did I 
mention that I am over the moon?! I posted a photo to Flickr & I am most eager 
to use them for Rosaline, Honiton & needle lace. Very pointy & exceedingly 
sharp, they will be handy in tight spaces where accuracy is key. Hardanger 
comes to mind, but it's not my thing. I've already tried them on a small, 
beaded needlepoint project & I am in love! Which brings me to the question of 
the day. What kind of scissors are being used for lace? I confess to owning 
many scissors, some quite nice--but I have never had scissors like this. Nor 
would I have suspected that there would be such a dramatic difference in 
quality! Yikes, did I miss the scissor tutorial? What are the experts using & 
why? Looking forward to candid opinions & advice because I am still in shock. 
Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
