Hi Everyone,
It is once again time for our Lace fair in Slagelse, here in Denmark and it
takes place on the 25th and 26th October in Nordhallen at Norrevangskolen,
Rosenkildevej 88, Slagelse. 23 stands will be selling various items for
lacemaking and tatting ( amongst those you might recognise:
I've been working in 140/2 on a Binche edging, and while I
had the magnifier light several years ago, and then switched
to the headgear magnifier (Mag-eyes), I find that
keeping good strong light on my work is the best solution.

DH, a former lecturer in engineering materials tells me that whether steel
rusts or not depends on whether there is free iron in it. Rust is oxidised
iron. Moisture and oxygen causes iron to rust. Steel is a carbon/iron alloy.
If the iron has been converted to austenite, the steel will not rust.
Aren't most high-quality (modern) stainless pins nickel-coated to
inhibit rusting?

Tim Parker sells an extensive range of pins including yellow brass,
stainless steel, nickel plated steel and nickel plated brass. The nickel
plated steel won't be stainless steel (austenitic) which

Indeed. And the lace-*chat* has been having great fun with the

It will be very nice to hear about the lace fair in
Slagelse. The list agenda and participants sounds
wonderful.
For those who will attend the lace fair, I hope that
you will have a nice time.

Hi everyone
In the Sampler Antique Needelwork Quarterly, vol. 32, there is a very
good article on Dresden Embroidered Lace (usually I avoid the needle
craft - a textile colleague said 'you should read this'). The only thing
missing from this interesting well-cited article is a picture of the
Sorry, I've been recovering from the end of the holidays and the departure
(whew!) of the inlaws. Thank-you, Tamara, for reiterating the difference
between lace and lace-chat. One small correction: you are not able to post
to lace-chat if you're not subscribed. A posting from a non-member bounces
My motto has been :
Never do anything today that can be put off until tommorrow,
because if it can be put off, it isn't all that important,
and why waste time on unimportant things when I can be making lace !!

Moving this to lace chat since that is where it belongs.
I agree. The tape was invented by 3M. (a local Minnesota company at the
time) A clue to why it is called Scotch tape is the tartan plaid in the
packaging as well. It is a common term (or was) that if you made things
