Laurie, and others with a lacy catalogue
As Tamara complained her database was too clever with sorting names, I just

be convenient for ISBN's. If spaces or dots happen to be every 3rd position,
or omitted at all, the
Hello Everyone
I would like to ask how any of you get rid of threads at the end
of a piece of lace.
At present I am making squares in DMC 80. I have tried plaiting and darning.
The first left a thick line and the darning just does not look neat.

To clear some misunderstanding: it wasn't my intention to ask for help, I
justed wanted to warn others. I do know how to solve the disappearing
leading zero from isbn's and other date/number scrambling. I just still get
surprised now and then, because I forget to take countermeasures to
