Happy New Year all. I have been teaching a one handed lace maker in Spain for
a few years now. Her name is Lissette. She had very extensive breast cancer
which went untreated because of her fear. Any way she is alive and fairly well
but her right arm is only for appearance. It just about moves
Thinking off the top of my head while at the office, it *should* be
possible to devise a method of one-handed sewings, although I do see it
being cumbersome slow.
Would it work if the stitch to be sewed could be opened up and the loop
held in position while the bobbin was moved through - I'm
Hi thanks for your interest but Lissette would not be able to put anything in
the loop, that's why she cant get a lazy susan or hook in it. You need two
hands. However please don't give up on your thinking. Do try yourself but only
with one hand. Lissette wouldn't mind how long it would take if

Hi, tried this for Lissette but too difficult. Do try when you get to the end

Hi everyone
It is quite possible to do lace with one hand - try it! You have to move
each bobbin on its own, at first, and tension carefully. Yes it is slow
going, but if you practice, you can get quite good at it, even if your
dominant hand is the one that has to recuperate. You might even learn

I have seen needle-threaders at the serger store, the handle is made of
brass, and the threading loop is of sturdy fine wire, flexible to go
through most needle-eyes, and fairly long. It could work for your student.
It would be slow going, but with deliberate placing of

Hi everyone and Vivienne
Today I tried one-handed lacing on my Russian tape lace project. Oddly
enough I used my lefthand, even though I'm otherwise righthanded. I was
able to do sewings with a hook - what I found interesting was the number
of stops and starts required, and that large-headed pins
The problem seems to be to get an answer to emails about buying the progrramme.
