I have some lovely pictures of the kind of flossing that was used in

Suzi - I've not found anything about how to actually do it on the web or indeed
in any books.
I would also love to hear of anyone who has wholesale or inexpensive pieces.
I go to the gem show and they have some but it is about 89.00 for what I
need. They are not very big either. Also? Does anyone know a place that
sells pearls on chain?

I've finally managed to get some photos of the muslin of my daughters 1569

My niece and her husband live in Switzerland. They are constantly ordering
DVDs from Amazon.com and having them sent to me (in Virginia). I then send
them on to Switzerland. They have no trouble playing them on either of
their machines.

They're thin enough that you can bend them if you try, but I have a

Can anyone tell me if purchasing a 15 yard bolt of muslin for $69 is a good

You shouldn't have to pay more than about a buck and a half per yard, even
at retail. In my opinion, $69 for 15 yards is a ripoff...

That is more than $4 a yard, and doesn't sound like a good deal to me,
unless it is the extra wide kind (60 or 90). I think you should be able to
What is the theatrical use you envision for this muslin?
Most muslin for general theater use can be found for about $1 a yard if you
shop around. If you are needing it for flats(scene) of unusual
width(72/109), the price you mention may not be too bad. For misc. costume
use, you can find it for a
Boy, I wouldn't pay that for it. If it's utility muslin, I get the 99 cent a
yard stuff on a full bolt from JoAnn's, and use a 40% off coupon. Grand total
for a 50 yard bolt? Thirty bucks and tax...

I assume $69 is US $69?
If so, it's a

It is the extra wide kind, at 108. How much does that affect pricing?
Sorry, I should know this stuff, but you are all so generous with your time

Where are you? If you are in the New York/ New Jersey area you can get
muslin for about .99 - 2.00 a yard at Joannes, depending on the width. Less
if you have a coupon. Unless you are looking for a really wide width that
sounds like a LOT of money.

along, so maybe it's not so bad a price for the width.
We'll need a LOT
