Adele,
Thank you very much for all this! I had been looking at Piper's Silks' web
site and was confused as to which thread to use, but it sounds as if spun
silk is the one to start with.
The patterns I've been trying so far are mainly from Roz Snowden's books (I
go to her for classes).
Patty,
Thank very much for your notes about the silk threads, and the tips about
wetting the knots. I know I can get Pipers Silks in the UK from their web
site, but I will look out for the other threads you mention.
What are insect pins? I've never heard of them!
Regards,
Annette,

Thank you to the people who described a couple of weeks ago how to do sewings
with a Lazy Susan (sorry, I can't remember who it was). My first attempt at
sewings, a couple of months ago, was deeply traumatic, as I was using a fine
crochet hook. I swore I'd never do sewings again. But after
Stiletto would be my best guess also. Lace bobbin it isn't.

Thanks also for the tip about the thread untwisting -
I have problems with that when I use continental bobbins, so I'd better
stick to Midlands bobbins when I use silk.
I seem to remember a tip about using suedde or chamais leather under
continentals to stop them rolling -

Hi Annette -
I have found that the silk I work with (Tire) likes to lose

Hi arachne lacemakers,
I'm in Fairbanks Alaska teaching my fall class. One of my students, who is brand-new
to lace making, is moving to Arizona in a few weeks and would like to get in touch
with some lacemakers there. Would someone please send me privately their email
address and maybe even

I wanted to let you know that our lace group is having an exhibition on the
second weekend of October.
