[lace-chat] Timtex?
Can one of the US arachnes tell me what Timtex is, please. I think it may be a thickish stiffening (like pelmet Vilene, here in the UK) as it is possible to machine stitch through it, but is making a base for something. Also, the materials call for a silica filled sandbag as a ready made/purchased item (would this be from a DIY store?), but with no size given. From the instructions it look as if it's about 5 x 2 1/2. Does anyone know if this is right. And, out of curiosity, what are these really made for. I'm sure there's not a market for pin cushion fillings in the States.

Re: [lace-chat] Timtex?
Timtex is an extremely thick interfacing. I've used it as part of the bottom lining (in between two fabrics) in a bag I sewed. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can one of the US arachnes tell me what Timtex is, please.

[lace-chat] Log books, demo time etc
Not wanting to show my ignorance, I was hoping that someone else would ask first, but perhaps I'm the only one who doesn't know. What are these log books for demo time, and who is the timekeeper? And does the demo have to take place in the States? I have a feeling that this information might be hidden in the IOLI small print, but then non IOLI members won't ever know about it. And if it's useful to the IOLI, is there anyway that the Lace Guild or other UK groups can benefit from being able to prove we are sharing our skills and knowledge to a wider audience.

I have a feeling that this information might be hidden in the IOLI small print, but then non IOLI members won't ever know about it. I'm not the expert, but I'll tell what I know. One tax-exempt status is Nonprofit. I think the organization has to declare a catagory, and the catagory that groups like IOLI and my sewing group qualify for has an education element and/or a public service element to it. In order to show that we do volunteer time towards these goals, we have to keep track of how many hours we spend each year doing it. Each member has to report these hours so the collective amount for each local group can be reported to the head officers. The total for the organization goes on some report yearly to the tax office. The Retired Teachers organization records volunteer hours, but is always asking especially for time spent with children because their catagory requires it listed separately from general charity volunteer time. This is a USA Federal Tax Status situation. I don't know if there is a similar situation in other countries. Each group needs some sort of record keeping, and I referred to this as the timekeeper. My guild has a log book that is passed around each meeting. We each record our name, place and date of demo (volunteering), and number of hours -- if we have done any demos since the last meeting. A similar thing would be done at each chartered IOLI guild. Informal lace groups, not chartered with IOLI, probably don't keep any record of their demos. This is one of the duties we do in order to have the benefits of membership in IOLI. I hope this helps a little bit.

[lace-chat] Re: demonstration hours
If we can't count the hours we are going to demonstrate lace in the lobby at IOLI I was just wondering about some of my hours. I sometimes sit in front at Hobby Lobby and demonstrate tatting to advertise my tatting class at the local Jr. College. Would those be counted as demonstration hours? Just wondering. Karisse Central Texas where the blue bonnets are booming.

[lace-chat] Re: IOLI hotel demo -- results
If the host guild has invited the public to the vendor and display room, such as on the Wednesday tour day, then I would think that anyone making lace in the lobby on that day or any other day that the public can come to would qualify as demonstrating hours. Just MHO. Janice P.s. Just spent 5 hours demonstrating at a Fibre Festival. Do I have to discount the time spent chatting to other lacemakers? :-) Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please could someone explain this 'Demonstrating Points' system to me.
