Dear Ann,  Since you have written from the UK: There are very clear instructions in the 2002 38-page "Magic Threads" booklet by Christine Springett (UK).  It has wonderful photos/illustrations and can be very helpful for people who have to join lengths of lace.  Perhaps one of your usual suppliers can provide it, or you can write to the Springetts.  (Please give them my personal regards, if you order directly.)  Or, you might find the instructions by searching Magic Threads at: http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html  There are 130 messages in the file, but you can move through them quickly by just looking for those by Ilske.  You may have to look further, but what you remember may be at https://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/msg19856.html  Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center  In a message dated 10/20/2017 7:37:47 AM Eastern Standard Time, ann.humphr...@talktalk.net writes:  Many years ago Ilske Thomson gave a very detailed explanation how to put in magic threads and it worked very well. Unfortunately that was a long time ago and now I have forgotten. Can anyone help? Ann  UK
