In case anyone else is interested... I heard from a very distinguished
lace teacher and she says the DMC Machine Embroidery thread is superior to the
Madiera that I have, and well worth the search, but it is practically
impossible for her to obtain in England. I was sort of hoping that it would
turn out it wasn't worth the search, but she says that it is her favorite for
hinjosa and Idrija lace. Sigh.
Privately, I have heard that it is obtainable from Createforless.com, and
http://www.discountembroiderysupply.com/Dmc-Cotton-Machine-Embroidery-Thread
-Recommended-By-Sharon-Schamber. The Createforless.com site might be
easier to use because it shows the colors with the numbers.
Amazon also lists it, but when you look closely, you can see that they are
really sending you to Create for Less.
With any of these sites it would probably help to have the lovely color
chart brochure available from DMC because that is the only way of seeing all
the colors arranged by shade.
