Sewing on tulle

Posted by Marlys in Indiana on June 11, 2007, 10:53 pm

Have any of you every done any sewing on tulle? DD is getting ready
for her wedding in August and I want to put a narrow edging on her veil
by machine if at all possible.
Any suggestions?? All answers appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything sewing on tulle, but I wanted to say it's good to see
you are sewing and posting on the groups again. I've often thought of you.

Thank you so much. It's been a rough 22 months for me. After losing my son
and then losing my DH, a best friend from highschool passed away in Oct.,
and at the end of May (last month) my best friend from college passed away.
Trying to get back into the swing of sewing. Mainly quilting but DD's
wedding
is now taking front stage, so to speak, in spite of all the heartache.

I can really relate to your mixed emotions. My DH was
killed just before Christmas in '01, and several months
later my DD met the man she would marry. She and I went
through some pretty wrenching emotional times planning the
wedding, with so many regrets about her Dad not being there
to walk her down the aisle and share her joy.

We actually decided to place a chair where he would have
been seated (an outdoor wedding), and I laid a single
scarlet rose across the empty seat when I was escorted to my
seat. It meant a great deal to DD and me to acknowledge him
that special day. My other son-in-law officiated, and we
decided to have him go to meet DD half-way along the aisle
and escort her the rest of the way (he is like a brother to
her). He did not "give her away", nor did I.

I hope you have lots of love and support, you are going
through such a stressful, heartbreaking time, but there is
much joy, too. My DD is so happy in her marriage, and I
adore my new second "son".

I wish you the best,

Beverly
