Greetings,
I just had a look at the cards from the Christmas card exchange.
Thanks to Barbara for making it possible. Sure glad I don't have to pick the
best one or even the one I like most.
A real treat. Yes, there are some talented people on this list.
Thanks to all concerned.

on our side of the pond, and think that I specified an 'all regions'
system when I bought my new machine, but haven't tested it yet.

Hi Jean
An all regions DVD player is only part of the answer. You need to also make
sure that your TV will also accept NTSC - the tv system used in America, in
the UK as in Australia the PAL system is used.

Ok, how does one do it? Ie curve a straight pattern? Can it be done
without a 'puter's help (seeing that I'm helpless when it comes to

I did use a computer to curve it, but that isn't essential - the computer

Dear Sue,
One possibility for your lace bracelet is to pick up scraps of UltraSuede in
various colors, cut them to fit under your lace, and layer the lace bracelet
over the UltraSuede. Some companies sell UltraSuede in pieces at reasonable
prices or you can cut up old garments found at flea
Hello Lacefriends in Sweden,
Do you know if there are any lace-courses in june near Stockholm or in
Vadstena. And do you have the exact adresses of some of the museums. If
so please mail it to me personally. Thank you.

Dear Spiders
Many years ago I worked at an HMO in downtown Chicago, part time. I decided
to wear one of my neck laces to work as a way of advertising our upcoming
lace day. The piece I wore was NL 2, which has three flowers in ecru with
red jasper cabochons attached with needle lace cups. I

Thank you Lorelei for your troubling account of trying to introduce the
public to modern lace. This disappointing encounter certainly provides food for
thought.
One thing that crosses my mind is that the office staff of an HMO may not be
equipped to deal with statements of high style.
Greetings again,
First of all, many thanks to everyone that commented on my questions about

Briefly my conclusions are -
Being Torchon it is worked on a 45 degree grid but doesn't have to be

Hi from a lurker,

Lace today could be used beautifully for trim if you want to wear
it. Think about just trimming a pocket edge on a stunning white blouse, a
collar on the same under a nice black pant suit or a lovely lace trim hanky
Hi Sue,
Knowing that you use Lace 2000 and that there are probably quite a lot of us on
Arachne that have the program, can you tell us in simple terms how to go about

To bend a straight lace pattern on Lace 2000:
1. With Snap to Grid ON, draw a length of the straight d pattern.
2. Rotate the design 90 degrees by clicking on Edit, Select All, Functions,
Rotate.
After rotation, the pattern should be horizontal across the page, with the
headside to the top.

Hi Tamara,
I applaud the soundness of your thinking, but unfortunately, designers who
understood the construction of lace and the limitations of production were not
as universally available as you might think.

Well, dear Arachnids, I think -- I hope -- that Lorelei's rather

Hi and welcome, Joan. My personal experience with lace on clothing is that most
people assume that it was machine-made or can't tell the difference between
machine-made and hand-made lace. People's eyes aren't attuned to lace. Someone
who notices clothes will spot an unusual cut, fabric, pattern,

Hello Janice and everyone,
Thank you, Janice, for your words, but I can not take all the credit. The
pattern
is designed by Ulla Fagerlin from Sweden.
I have been meaning to ask Barbara to add that information as well as correct
my
name. (It seems I need to do something to my handwriting. :)
Joan, I, very occasionally, wear a lace trimmed handkie in a jacket hip
pocket - but I always safety-pin it in! I would hate to lose it either by
accident or theft.
I must say they look great spilling from a pocket, and it is a great way to
show off some lace. Just beware of losing it!
