You could try using 2 threads together. I have done that with a 60wt thread.

what kind of thread do you use for lace? i can't belive size 30 cotton is so hard to find , unless you have a big pocket.do you ever use polyester for doilies? i read it somewhere.. i may be stuck with a lot of 50-3 cotton. do you need any at a real good price,? thanks doris
I use 40 weight for my FSL

Glad you had angels on your side.
I love the Madeira cotton - used the 30 wt a lot for bobbin lace making, now use it for machine lace.

I have used a 50 wt cotton thread, the one used by quilters, with success. Cotton thread leaves a lot of lint but that's not a problem if you clean the bobbin area often.
