Hi Everyone, David Collyer is still away on his month-long trip, and he sent me this message and asked me to post it for him. So here it is:
-------------------------------- Have finally managed to check my email in between monsoon storms. Could you please pass this message onto Arachne? While I'm away I've made a lovely piece of Bayeux lace which required 140 pairs (have no idea what the x-ray machine at the airport would have thought of 100 or so BONE bobbins!!). IN the process I ran out of my large safety pin type bobbin holders and in desperation remembered Noelene's shoelace method. I only had a very long shoelace and it worked a treat, holding more than 50 pairs. However, It was rather thick and furry and some of the smaller spangles proved difficult to slide along it. I have been thinking and reckon that when I get home I'm going to try something like that plastic coated electric wire.
