So, hot tip for using variegated thread - wrap the thread around
various widths of card to test the limits of the colour sequence.

Rhiannon, thank you for the thought, blushing furiously, g. Dont forget
it was you who lead me to find these networks.
I took a look at your pictures, they look great, what a refreshing change

I'm wondering *why* they want you to wash it. Can't be for
pre-shrinkage, since you've already worked on it.

It was version 8.0.100 and frankly
is a bit of a pain. It's working just fine but I notice it's really
slowed down the starting of some programmes.
I take it then that version 8 is even slower than version 7 has been -
What program are you discussing -AVG?They just came out with a version

I spent the weekend assisting in the making of the metallic gold lace for
the reproduction of the Margaret Laton jacket occurring at Plimoth Plantation,
in Massachusetts. I am featured on the two most recent blogs as you can see.
My understanding of why you wash after you finish Carrickmacross is that the
cotton couching thread shrinks slightly, and it beds down into the couched
thread and becomes invisible. It also seals the edges a bit more firmly
than before it is washed.

Hi, Jeanette,
I never wash my Carrickmacross. Yes, I have worked one small piece on silk
net, and it worked up well.
Unless you get it dirty I would not bother trying to wash it.
If it was cotton - then I would wash the net and the muslin/lawn (whatever)
separately first, as they might shrink
