You could try www.sewconsult.com
They should have the manual for the 500 series for a small fee, and there is
other useful free info that might apply to your machine, too.

That's the manual that came with it. Apart from other differences, the 500 has
3 buttonhole buttons and they're in a different place to the 8 on the 550 and
the 500 doesn't have either the pictogram or fancy stitches or the menus that
go with them. After the 400, the Lily went through a further 8 variations -
500, 525, 530, 535, 540, 545, 550 and 555 each adding something new.

I like things to be right even if I can work out what to do, so I'll have to
be patient and wait until the lace group starts again and then get the local
dealer to get a manual for me.

Thanks to everyone who commented for their suggestions and I wouldn't have the
cheek to join a Yahoo group just to try and get a copy of the manual..

[lace] a sewing with lace content raffle

2007-08-17 Thread bevw
Hi everyone

Nice to see a raffle happening, thanks Debbie in FL !
Here is another.

I am doing more clean out and this was about to go into recycling, then I
thought someone might find it useful.
It is a sewing pattern, a sweetheart dress intended for stretch fabrics (up
to 25% stretch) in multiple sizes, 30 - 46 , an Ann Person 'collectible' -
used by someone once (not me, and by the appearance of pattern pieces, she
didn't finish it either) and the reason I bought it - from the thrift shop
for not much - was the illustration of the dress with a lace collar on it. I
could do that! I thought. I could make a lace collar and the dress to go
with it! But I doubt that I will. It has a variety of necklines,
high-scooped, low-scoop, V and sweetheart, cap, short or long sleeve.

So if anyone wants it, whether or not you would sew lace to it, let me know.
I'll take names for a week ending Friday Aug. 24 to allow for those getting
the digest.
I'll put it in an envelope right now and I will mail to anywhere ;)

If nobody wants it then I can put it into the recycling box without regret
:D

What a good idea Debbie, I certainly love to work with the old bobbins
that I bought from him because my mind always wanders while I make lace
and I wonder who owned these old bobbins and where they lived etc. how I
wish they could talk.


Happy lacing

[lace] smile! it's a raffle...a memory raffle

2007-08-17 Thread Noelene Lafferty
Bobbins by Noelene

I'm never alone when I sit at my lace
Every bobbin I own is a friend
And brings back to my mind some special time
When over my pillow I bend.

There's a pair sent from Scotland , hand painted in blue
From my contacts with faraway places
And some from the States, received for a swap
With hedgehogs, and fans just for lacers.

There are some made of metal, and some made of bone
But most are just made of plain wood
The most precious of all are those turned by DH
Going back to the days when he could

There's marbled acrylics, and ones I've hand painted
And plastics made bright with nail varnish
There are Mother and Babes, and some spirally wound
I just hope the wire doesn't tarnish.

There are some from estates from those who've passed on
And gone to that place in the sky
Where threads never break, and pins never bend
And with pillows in ample supply.

As each bobbin goes by, with its burden of thread
Does its work, rounds a pin, and is gone
I'm reminded again of precious times past
And friendships and memories live on.

Joy  Malvary,
This is getting really intriguing. For while I have never heard of 
either of your rhymes, the Australian version is obviously somehow a 
derivation. Ours went:-


Ask your mother for sixpence
To see the big giraffe
With pimples on his whiskers,
And pimples on his sK you mother for sixpence etc.

That was the dirtiest joke I knew at Primary School :) - learned a 
few more later one
