I have had a quick look in the International Lace Dictionary and cannot find the word 'pitsipulgad' in any of the languages that are included. In Finnish there are 2 words pitsinpatka and pitsipatja which mean strip of lace and lace pillow respectively. Jean in Cleveland U.K. On 12 Jan 2005, at

Hello, Brenda, I didn't know DMC 50 was a Z ply. I've used it for years, and never had any problem until I used it with this particular metallic thread which I have never used before. I'm going to make the smae bookmzrk with a linen thread and the same metallic silver, just to see what happens!
