Thanks to some help from rayc and miloh, I was able to successfully
engrave a few things on linen. My first attempt was at 5.5 mA or so, but
Miloh pointed out just how weak the fibers had become. Further attempts
were at ~4.5 mA, 70% speed, 1 pass (raster). These seemed to be pretty
strong. Lesson learned: make sure you strength test in *both*
directions. The weft was basically undamaged, but the warp was very,
very weak.

One of these is now in the kitchen, having joined the noisebridge towelpool.
