Re: [lace] Burano Needle Lace in Hallmark movie!

2022-02-13 Thread DJ
Here is an article I found that might help those who want to watch the next
episodes but do not have Hallmark Movies access.  This article provides a
short list of streaming services that carry the Hallmark channel and most
offer a free trial period. You could subscribe to one for free for a week then
cancel and try a different service for the week of the third episode.  Hope it
is helpful.  Btw, if your tv is not able to access the streaming services, you
can watch them on your computer. There may be other ways to access The
Hallmark Channel via the internet but this article seems to list most of the
free options. Also ask your local librarian if they subscribe to any digital
resources that might allow you to watch the next two episodes. Some libraries
do offer in library movie viewing through their library resources.

Sue,

I very much enjoy the photos. If the corporate decides to retain this account,
I will pledge $25 for the upcoming renewal.

Re: [lace] Ricamo Firenze 40

Susan,

This thread is designed for machine embroidery. It is 40 weight rayon. There
are numerous options for substitution. If you have a Joann's store nearby,
they should have 40weight rayon thread available. If you do not have a Joann's
do a search for sewing machine dealers. Most are also selling embroidery
machines and threads.

Re: [lace] Battenburg type lace

Sue, thank you for sharing this information. It's a lovely design. Is there 
perhaps a picture of the original lace that Mary Corbet sourced for this 
reinterpretation?

Re: [lace] Lace, Virtual lace classes

2020-09-29 Thread DJ
Karen,

You described using brightly colored threads for your beginners so that you can 
reference which pair of bobbins to address. A technique I used when I was 
working a very complex pattern was to trace the pathways of my pattern using 
colored pencils. Then I placed color matched elastics onto the corresponding 
bobbins. I found it very easy to determine which bobbin pairs were associated 
with each portion of my pattern. I also had glass head pins in matching colors 
when I needed to use dividers.

Antje,

MEET is a Google product and some people will refuse to allow Google products 
on their phones or computers for security reasons. MEET would have to be 
downloaded and installed to their computer just like any other meeting 
software. We use ZOOM at all of our organizations. Both products are free to 
download and use. For the host/teacher Zoom limits free meetings in meeting 
length, about 40 minutes each session, but you can schedule several 40 minute 
meetings sequentially. A paid account (150$ US per year)  allows unlimited 
class time per session.
