Hi All, I haven't looked in any books yet but China seems like
a likely place of origin to me too. Something about the way all
the petals are done in two stitches side to side makes me think
that. The description says something like "this type of lacy work
is called Burano, Point de Venise or R

Always good to turn inside out. For smallish things like T-shirts (as opposed to
Cavalier ball gowns), you can pop them in a pillow case & tie the end for extra safety
in case your washing machine should turn aggressive ;o)

If possible it is better to match the thread content of the thread to the
fabric, so that they shrink at si

If sewn well, applique' lace is exactly as durable as embroidery done with
the same thread. (More durable,
Hello All,
I haven't disappeared on you all, I've been busy "bobbining" as my DH calls
it.
Thank you to everyone who answered my newby questions. I was bolled over by
all the responses! I've copied all of the answers, and they're in my file,
and I've had a good chuckle to see how our newby que

lately.

Thank you all for the long lists of ideas! I can't wait to try some
out. Now I'll definitely start making real lace pieces instead of
putting them in a scrapbook with all the end threads sticking out...

Needle lace is probably slower than bobbin lace, by a considerable margin.
When people make fun of you, compare what you do to wood carving. I do
believe that is an apt comparison. Woodcarving is to carpentry what bobbin
lace is to needlework.

if it's going along as normal, I haven't been receiving them. (There's
