Merger proposal

Basically both articles describe the same thing/process. For me, "devoré" is the term that most fashion/textiles people use or know, although "burnout" is also used quite often for the same process. However, I would suggest burnout (textiles) is preferable to the current Burnout (clothing) title of the other page if "burnout" is deemed more appropriate than "devoré". They certainly need merging, although the question is, should Devoré or an alternative Burnout page with a more appropriate title be the new home for the information? My vote is for "devoré" as the term less likely to cause confusion. Mabalu (talk) 16:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I agree that a merge would be OK. "Burnout" t-shirts and other clothing are a trend among teens/20-somethings lately, but devore is an old process, and I associate it with velvet scarves in particular. I checked the view statistics for both articles (http://stats.grok.se/), and devore actually does get quite a few more readers. That surprised me, I actually thought the term "Burnout (clothing)" would have more views. Burnout clothing could just be pasted into Devore as a section.

Improved somewhat, but maybe more info on use in textile arts?

There seem to be sophisticated applications in textile arts and also DIY/craft applications using products such as Fire Etch? Can anyone from Project Textile Arts help here? Libby norman (talk) 07:47, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Broderie chimique as alternative name? Surely not?

References/sources? From the name, (chemical embroidery?) it sounds more like chemical lace to me, which is a machine-embroidered lace created by densely embroidering a base fabric which is then dissolved in chemicals to leave the embroidery standing alone. Definitely not devoré - not finding much online about this to clarify what it exactly is, but can't see how devoré can be considered embroidery in any form.
