I did spray starch with it last night, but since I've never done it (except clothing), I don't really know what I should be looking for as a finished product. ;-) But I'm happy with it, I think.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200088593233052818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426897612427380392.post-52324222631678302122011-03-02T08:41:25.227-06:002011-03-02T08:41:25.227-06:00It's beautiful!

If you don't have time to make another doily you could always dye the white one. <br /><br />I have spray starched doilies before and it works good enough, but if you want really stiff doilies you will have to use the old method of the powder starch and mixing it with water. Which I have done also, but don't like to. My Mom uses that to starch her doilies.<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful week.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />TamaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426897612427380392.post-7299423091542231692011-03-01T11:07:33.627-06:002011-03-01T11:07:33.627-06:00CrochetBlogger--I'll let you know!

My great-grandmother did some amazing tatting, and I have some of her tools right now. I just don't know what to do with them! I keep wondering if I should try it sometime...

There's this one pattern I want to buy when I get paid at e-Patterns.com ... it's so pretty with swans all around the outside edge, figuring that if I'm going to stress my eyes crocheting with thread and a tiny hook, I'll try to at least knock someone's socks off - if even just mine LOL<br />I generally don't do thread crochet anymore because my old eyes don't like it anymore...maybe one day I can afford to buy a Daylight Lamp with a magnifying loop to do some because I think thread crochet is so pretty!<br /><br />Have a lovely day!Doris Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383495196401230783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426897612427380392.post-61973321080920488762011-02-28T13:41:41.521-06:002011-02-28T13:41:41.521-06:00The doily looks great.
