Hello,
I am a textile conservation student in Paris. I am
currently writing my thesis on issues concerning
transparencies in textile conservation. 
I am doing a survey on current practices and backing
materials specifically used  when conserving
transparent textiles such as lace, muslin, tulle or
organza.

It seems that current practices in that field vary
from a country to another. For instance, in France we
use mainly silk crêpeline and silk tulle. Do you use
Stabiltex? or other backing fabrics?

If this subject is of any interest to you, I would be
very helpful to have your opinion.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Ovide Guarneri
