| How To Order | |
|
Please
call our offices to place any size order. We do accept Mastercard/Visa
for ready to ship orders. Please check for availability. We do not
always have our ready made linens in stock and may take anywhere
from 6 to 12 weeks before delivery. Our linens are woven for us
in Ireland and then sent to our workrooms in Portugal to be made
up into our hemstitched linens. Our smaller linens, the purificators,
towels, corporals, & veils, are machine made on 150 year old
hemstitching machines. We believe that the hemstitched linens will
hold up much longer than the typical hand hemmed style. This saves
on the wear & tear of your linen collection with less need for
repairs.
|
|
|
Our
hemstitched linens are then kept on hand in our Portugal workrooms
ready for your made to order embroidery. All embroidery is done
by and in the workrooms. We use DMC cotton floss that is colorfast
& brilliant. Our white floss is a very bright white that gives
a lovely embossed look to the white linen. We do not raise the embroidery
with heavy padding, thus saving on the wear & tear of the linen.
Most highly raised embroidery will eventually start to show wear
and can actually tear away from the linen with many washings &
ironings. We have created a style of satin stitch embroidery that
will lay against the linen without creating the ironing, separation
and puckering problems that can occur with the raised work. Your
linens should be easy to take care of with proper handling &
maintenance.

| Made to Order Linens | |
|
Our
made to order linens; altar & credence cloths, niche cloths,
and any other special sized linen, is hand drawn and hemstitched
to insure a perfect fit and drape to your linen, please specify
finished sizes in your measurements and preferred hem widths. For
altar & credence cloths please indicate the top of the altar
measurement as well as your finished size measurement. This will
help us determine where to place embroidery designs on the cloths.
We will be glad to give you free design consultation for your altar
linen projects. A written estimate for your church commitee can
be sent by mail, fax, or email. All orders must be prepaid. It can
take approximately 6 to 8 months for your linens to be handmade
and embroidered in our Portugal workrooms. We do require church
checks for these orders. We will not process your order until we
receive payment in full. |
