I looked up the pattern, haven't made this one, but I note that the thinner thread is metallic vs. the thicker plain thread. I think the contrast will be just as effective with a lighter colour; either use a textural difference in the two, as well as size, or go for a metallic and a solid. Certainly worth trying - display it against a dark background. The example in the book is black against white background, and now that I think of it, it is difficult to see detail on black textiles, compared to the lighter ones. IOW I think you're on the right track. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
