Hi everyone
A quick and clean way to keep thread tidy is to wrap a paper around the
spool and tape snugly - I needed to do this, this afternoon when a wiry
thread whiffled off its spool annoyingly. I wasn't at home or I would have
put a narrow piece of clear self-sealing plastic food wrap around it
They are available at sewing machine stores, esp. ones that sell sergers.

Hi Sue,
I had to look what was meant by bendable threads as I hadn't had any trouble
bending my thread. :-) Now I can see that you meant blendable. I wonder if
Brenda has these in her next version 3 book? I can see she will spend the rest
of her life bringing out updates. :-)

Has anyone tried using Sulky's cottons for lacemaking and how did it work?

Hi All,

This is an integral part of this method which Pat sometimes refers to as
'fully-fashioned shaping'
I've been reading the instructions and hints on
scrolling the Milanese/duchesse method with great
interest, and thanks to all providing them. I too
hope to do better next time I try - I seem to get a
series of holes just inside the outside edge, which I
don't like in a naturalistic pattern. I ten
