Lace Designs Query!

I usually take the same thread, but I even used the bobbin cotton thread one time and it looked so beautiful, not bright indeed. It depends in where you would put the lace. Mitzi

You can also use 50wt. cotton to make lace. It feels more like the real thing. I wimd the bobbin with the same thread. My mom thought I had taken up tatting. ;-) One more hobby? no way. Nana

I love the lace done with cotton thread - 50 wt Cotona is perfect for it. This is one time that I would use the thread in the bobbin, too, rather than the pre-filled super fine stuff, because when you rinse out the water-soluble stabilizer, it all shows.

My mistake! It's sold as "Tanne" and it's put up by Madeira, so it should be easy to find. I just located some at

Check other sources for price comparison, etc., or if you have a local store that carries Madeira try them.

I somehow thought it would look better using the same type thread in the bobbin and the top but as I had never attemted it before I thought I would ask for some advice. So thank you all for your input on the thread type.

Also thank you Joanne for the website url.
