In this Brother Success Machine Tutorial I will be covering Thread Lace. The schematic for the cover garment is included in the book. Although it's named "lace", Thread Lace (aka Punch Lace), is not a traditional knitted lace. No stitches are transferred and it doesn't utilize the lace carriage. Rather it is a technique that simultaneously knits with two yarns that match in color-one of the yarns being very, very fine (basically thread) and the other being fine to medium. It gives the resulting knit fabric a lacy look, hence the name "Thread Lace". It is a technique that can be done on certain models of the 'Japanese' machine brands (Brother, Studio, Toyota), but not on the European double bed machine brands (Passap, Superba). The user guide of any specific model will tell you if it is capable of doing thread lace, although the rule of thumb is if it can do plaiting (plating, platting), it can probably do thread lace. This book includes 20 pages where you can record your own knitting information so you have your steps that can be repeated when you find a design you like.

There are many reasons why the Tyrannosaurus Rex is the world's most popular dinosaur: it was discovered in the United States on land where my grandfather McDonald lived during the golden age of paleontology. The T. rex found at the big monument in Montana was one of the most important dinosaurs in the world because it was the first one found in America which means the land is called the type site.It is also The type specimen which means it is the first skeleton of that type of dinosaur. So, the ranch has the distinction of being both the type site and being the first of that type skeleton ever found sometimes referred to as the "holotype" specimen of a new species, the first against which all others are compared. When the museum put the pieces together, they officially named the huge beast Tyrannosaurus rex, the Tyrant King. This book covers dinosaur history about the T. rex and its common predators, interesting facts about this dinosaur and about what caused the extinction of this, as well as the rest of the dinosaurs.

My two grandfathers and Barnum Brown made history together when Barnum was allowed to dig for dinosaurs on land where my grandfather McDonald lived in Montana. During a dig starting in 1902 and ending in 1905, the remains of the first T rex in the United States were unearthed and history was changed forever.The land where grandfather lived is the type site for the type specimen of the Tyrannosaurus rex. This skeleton is not the largest of the rex skeletons ever to be found, but it is the first found in America. When the museum put the pieces together they officially named the huge beast Tyrannosaurus rex, the Tyrant King. It was what scientists call "the holotype" specimen of a new species, the first against which all others are compared.My other grandfather was instrumental in building the railroad so the train could transport the dinosaur bones to New York to be assembled and displayed in the American Museum of Natural History's Dinosaur Hall in December 1906.
