Thank you for taking the time to do this Laurie. I'm sure the boards will
come in useful to many of us.
I do hope my reply messages are being trimmed. I use gmail and when I am
writing a message after using the 'reply' button, the original messages
does not show up for me to delete. In fact, I would be very grateful if
someone would tell me whether they *are* trimmed or not.
Thanks,
Karen in Malta.

I got a lot of great feedback from the new lacemaking threads board on the
LaceNews Pinterest site yesterday
http://www.pinterest.com/LaceNews/lacemaking-thread/.
And many people said they were interested in pins and needles. So that is
starting up too
http://www.pinterest.com/LaceNews/lacemaking-pins-and-needles/. This one
is
more difficult. It's fairly easy to track down thread manufacturers on the
web, and also needle makers. But pins are a problem, many common brands are
job shopped in the far east. But I'll keep looking.
So these two boards are basically collections of equipment suppliers. I
think I will expand on this, and open more equipment boards, first one for
bobbins. Most of the bobbin makers are now listed under the boards for
Supplies and Books. But I think these should be reserved more for more
retail shops offering a variety of items. If a shop also does manufacturing
(for example Handy Hands, which is a general interest tatting shop but also
manufacturers Lizbeth thread), then they can also be listed under the
appropriate equipment board.
The site is slowly evolving, I'm fast approaching 1000 pins for lace
resources. The only real problem is the lack of the ability to do
sub-boards
on Pinterest - a feature much requested by users, but not available yet.
