David, Could humidity or the lack thereof be an issue? I have had more problems with thread breakage when I lived in more arid environments and would use a plant mister to periodically spray my threads. My lace is very happy now that I've moved to a much more humid environment -- although I miss the clean mountain air.

At least Roxy's getting a bit too old to hear it all. Had to have a stiff vodka. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
