Today at our lace picnic in Mission Bay park, San Diego I moved my lace table
to a spot under a tree when the sun became too intense. Â It was hard to see
my fine silk thread on my Blonde pattern in the sun. Â I stepped away to bring
my chair over to the table when I heard a thud, turned and saw
Thank you to everyone who offered advice when I inadvertently put a
piece of lace through a hot wash. I dampened the lace and pinned it
back onto it's pricking. That was two weeks ago and tonight I felt
brave enough to take the pins out. I'm happy to report that it has
recovered its shape.
Congratulations!! And thank you for letting us know the results. Everyone
makes mistakes. I think we are defined by how we fix them. lrb

The sun was shining brightly in a blue sky yesterday so I was unusually
full of housework enthusiasm. One of the things I grabbed to go into
the wash was one of my cover cloths which was lying on the sideboard. I
didn't stop to wonder why it was there but was reminded when I opened
the
Ouch!
One thing to try is to lay the piece of lace on a flat surface, and cover
with a slightly dampened cloth.
Then leave to dry naturally.
No guarantees, but have used this method on cross stitch and embroideries on
cloth which needed a gentle wash.

I would thoroughly dampen the lace, then pin the pricking onto a pillow or a
piece of styrofoam, or the ironing board if it would fit, cover the pricking
with plastic and then pin the lace back into the original pinholes. It's
easiest if you pin a bit on one side and then a bit on the opposite
Not of much help now, but to prevent disasters I use transparent cloths to
cover my pillows. Preferably good quality fine woven smooth glass curtains.

I agree with Clay, it is possible to take out all of the pins to move the
lace up the pillow rather than work over a felt mountain or the plastic
foam

I had a huge disaster a couple of weeks ago: decided to try out a pattern
using an unknown silk thread given to me by one of the members of my lace
group. The lace worked up so beautiful that I decided to make an edging for a
little curtain for a little window on the upstairs landing.

Dear spiders,
It is really unfortunate that the wire class by Lenka is cancelled
after everything was organized and it reminds me of the same 'disaster'

I am speaking on behalf of the Rocky Mountain Lace Guild and the Mountains of

HOWEVER, we still have a signed contract with her, and we are
Hi T. - could you clarify 'disaster' - is Lenka's situation a disaster, or
is the disaster only that her class won't be offered at convention?
