Hi Spiders, The discussion about embroidery floss and its suitability for lace is very timely for me. I am working a pattern from the Swedish Lace Organization in 40/3 linen. I have worked and re-worked certain sections multiple times (I blush to say how many) and the linen wears like iron.

Hi Liz, Free web sites usually come with strings attached. Probably ads displayed somewhere. I notice you have a bigpond email address, so it would be worth investigating if that doesn't entitle you to personal webspace as part of your account. With most paid email addresses, that is the case.
