Re: [lace] Thread Conversion Question
Shirlee, Brenda Paternoster's book Threads for Lace 2 will answer ALL your thread questions.I'm sure someone will tell you who to get it from in the States - and it's not too expensive. Brenda also does updates whenever she finds a new thread and these are posted on her website. If you have any thread that's not in the book, send her a little and it will be assessed and added to the list. Any thread can be used for bobbin lace - if in doubt work a small sample to find out how it feels, both to work with and in the finished piece.

[lace] Thread Conversion Question
Hello one all ... I have been away from lacemaking for *way* too long but am slowly getting back into it. I have absolutely *no* lacemaking thread but I have tons of tatting thread in all sizes. This may be a dumb question, but can I substitute tatting thread for lacemaking thread? Is there a conversion chart somewhere that would tell me, for example, that if the pattern calls for Brok 80/2, I can use size 80 DMC tatting cotton instead? Something like that? Thanks much!
