Dear all, As much as it would definitely be nice to have the ability to add photos etc to Arachne posts, I have to say there is something I like about the old school format of this list. With so many platforms oversaturated with photos these days, it can be refreshing to be limited to bare-bones

Apparently both Pierre and Dagmar achieved writing an email to arachne! Yes, it's as simple as writing an email to lace@arachne.com However as you have noted, we are limited to text (not even French accents on Pierre's surname come through) and cannot post photos / pdfs etc. I have no idea how

Dear Brian and fellow Arachnids I have heard that Discourse is currently the most advanced forum hosting platform and that it has the capability to import large complex existing archives. I am equally impressed that it is open source. Things that are good for humanity should be free. I quite

Amazing and wonder just how long it would have taken to work such a huge border? Does anyone know of a video demonstrating the process of attaching a needlelace border to linen fabric. I guess with a straight edge like this, one would draw a thread in the linen and attach by sewing with
