[lace] Kazaman Spam?
Dear Karen in Malta, Is someone using your e-mail address to send mail that says in the inbox: _Kazaman@gmail44.com_ (mailto:kaza...@gmail44.com) is awaiting your reply. Accept? It does not look like something you would send to Arachne! It does not have the [lace] indicator. I've been deleting these in the last week. Do you know about this?

[lace] Bobbin weight
I've been wondering about this for a few weeks. There comes a point where you don't remember where you learned some things, especially lace, where the information can come from books, lectures, informal conversations, Arachne. I believe I learned that the weight of a bobbin helps it to tension the lace. But even when I'm using the correct bobbin for the weight of the thread, from thin to thick, I still have to tension virtually every stitch at some point. I'm wondering if the weight of the bobbin helps the hitch to do its job. When I transport my pillow anywhere and it tilts, I spend a fair amount of time fixing the hitches on the bobbins. When the pillow is stationary, and keeps sitting in the same place, there are many fewer problems with hitches. Is the original premise a common one? Is there any validity in the second premise?

Re: [lace] Bobbin weight
Yes it, is. The size of bobbins have to be related with the threads used. But, maybe it makes sense for you if the pillow is in a degree of inclination in order that the bobbins hung, so the weight of them helps to tension. For example, when the lace is worked completely horizontal as it is made in centre Europe the bobbins are litlle size and threads very fine. So, there is not so important to tension, but it is only necessary to acommodate the threads. Hope this helps Carolina de la Guardia Barcelona.

[lace] Computer tech help if possible, please
I have phoned my local computer shop but the person there is not familiar with Mozilla Firefox. Somehow my computer has gone into full screen and I lose all the directional arrows, bookmarks etc. The only way to move from one site to another is by switching off and then on again. My question is does anyone know of a key or combination of keys which will restore the status quo? I waa told to try F10 but that doesn't work and I had already tried Escape before phoning.

RE: [lace] Computer tech help if possible, please
Hello Patricia Have you tried system restore? When you swtich the computer on, you get a screen with shortcuts etc. There should be a search bar (mine is bottom left). In it type "system restore", and a list of programmes comes up incl. system restore or some similar name. Click on it and on the screen you'll get "open system restore". Next screen says something like: "Restore system files and settings". There should be a list of several restore points. Choose one and click on next, and it will say "Confirm your restore point". Cliock "Finish" and the computer should go back to an earlier point in time. This may solve the problem.

[lace] bobbin weight
Lyn I think some tensioning is always necessary, regardless of bobbin weight relative to thread size. I just do it differently. For fine thread laces it is enough to just stroke the bobbins in a downward direction, like petting them. For thicker threads, especially thicker linens, actually tugging on each pair relative to every other is necessary.

The Torchon Tug The Torchon Tug is an awesome force To keep all those passives in line. If they start in to waiver all over the place Just give them a tug and they're fine. A Point Ground Pull is a different affair. The thread is so fragile and thin. A Torchon Tug here would wreak havoc galore And probably pop out a pin. And Bedfordshire lace is a class on its own With techniques to avoid any grief Give a good Torchon Tug to tighten a trail But watch out when making a leaf. 'Cause a leaf in this lace needs the greatest of care In keeping the tension just right.

Much much lighter than midlands (especially spangled midlands) - and you let them hang over the edge of the dome of the pillow to provide the necessary tension Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com -Original Message- - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Retirement. They all promised me when retirement was due, I'd be doing so much with my lace. I'd have oodles of time To plan and create, And have projects all over the place. But then the day came, And I planned to sit down With all of that thread that I'd bought. With pins and my pillows And bobbins galore And great piles of books just to sort. But where does the time go? I really can't say< The days seem to disappear fast. As the days now fly by I seem to do LESS Just where did I find time in the past!
