[lace] Brick wall???

2004-12-07 Thread Sandi Woods
Interestingly, I read, that due to the design decisions made when I was designing the letters for my recent book, it appears that I might have run into a 'brick wall'? In case anyone fears for my safety, I would like to assure those who may be interested that is simply not the case.

[lace] Coloured threads

2004-12-07 Thread Brenda Paternoster
Liz Ligetti in Australia has sent me some very useful info about Presencia/Finca threads and I've added Presencia to the list of coloured threads. We get Presencia Finca lacethread and Finca Perle in UK but I've never seen any of the sewing thread (which I guess will be similar to our

Lorelei, Don't feel so bad about your thread. I made a B earlier this year from a pattern an Ozzie friend sent me (hi Annette :-) ), and I used about a 140/2 cotton, but for the thick thread, I used coloured 50 Retours - pink to outline the flower, green for the leaves and Blue for the letter.

2004-12-07 Thread Phil and Annie
Hi Lorelei I agree with Helen your macro Honiton looks fine. I've seen other scaled up Honiton and done some myself and it works quite well. I have had a problem for years trying to get people interested in Honiton. The two most frequent comments I hear are I'd love to do that but I couldn't
