Hi Susan Thank you for the information, Alex! Do you have recommendations for fabrics, please, as something like satin would be too slick, so perhaps a fine Egyptian cotton, etc.?
Go by feel rather than name. The fabric needs to be smooth. I use the very ordinary fine polyester cotton. Traditionally cotton is recommended, but again find a fine fabric with a smooth finish, if you can get fine Egyptian cotton in a dark colour it will be ideal. Personally I would not choose satin. I think the shine would bother me, but there is no reason why not, and being slick it may resolve the problem. However, you would have to find a fine one. As with any cover cloth fabric the fold should not be bulky as this may be suffucient to bring the fabric into closer contact with the threads and cause them to wear. I hope this answers everything, if not let me know and let me know how you get on. Happy lacemaking (without broken threads) Alex - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
