I'm interested in hearing from anyone that has had the
experience of beads cutting the thread in their lace.
Please tell:
What size type of beads were being used?
And what size type of thread was being used?
Thanks,

I would agree with Kathleen here. Bugle beads or beads with chips should be
avoided at almost all costs when you are making anything involving beads. The
only way to get around the challenge with bugle beads is to put a seed bead at
either end of the bugle bead. Then the thread isn't rubbing
I have not used beads in my lace very often, but I find that bugle beads -
the long slim ones - often cut the thread when I am beading! And that is
nylon beading thread. I think that bugle beads are cut from a tube and,
unless they are very good quality, have sharp edges. It doesn't seem to
happen
I used several times beads in my laces. In no case happened anything like
cutting the thread or the finished lace.

As well as bugles, I was advised by a bead teacher that some of the round
metal beads (not glass beads) can wear through thread. So I avoided trying
them.

What is the source for this information? I would like to share it, but I
would like to know who established it, and where others could confirm it.

BE CAREFUL when using Swarovski crystals, too...I always use seed beads on
each opening any time I am working with thread. This might even be true of
crystals from other countries, also. As I never use these, I cannot say.

If this is a new event/idea someone's come up with, why not have it the
same day as the already long established UK National Lacemaking Day, 2nd
Saturday in September (this year the 12th) and make it International Lacemaking
Day instead?
June 21st is already taken for Father's Day.

A universal Lace Day sounds like a Great idea.
I spent last Sunday at the National Gallery of Victoria, demonstrating
lacemaking with 7 others. They all did a different bobbin lace, on
different shaped pillows, and I was the sole Needlelacemaker. I had some
filet lace, knotted lace, and tatting

As you work through Thienpondt's patterns, please post photos. We see very
little Mechlin made by living lacemakers. I think it will stimulate more
interest.

I think it was started by Dutch. Do not know much lse about origins. Bet they
did not consider Father's Day when they planned.

I have gone to the website both Sue and Carolina sent, the Museum
Kantfabriek in Horst. Has anyone visited this museum? It looks, from the
website,
as though the emphasis is on machine made lace. There is a video that has
machines working, but also what appears to be some kind of lace day
I have received the information from Rina Wijnen, member of the lace
Association in Nederland Kantklos.

Yes, Devon and Jacquie.
Jean Leader has pointed out: The first UK National Lacemaking Day was
actually on 14th September 1991 - thereâs a report with photos in âLace
65
(January 1992).
When I read about this, I wondered why all national lace guilds could not
agree on a date. There may be
Dear Arachnids
My thanks to all who responded to my request for information about museums
etc. for studying Milanese lace.
Now I have a request for myself. After completing my floral book I started
studying Mechlin using Rita Thienpondts syllabus, with its well thought out
teaching progression
Has anyone made their own battenberg tape? Been think of trying it. Or
would it be better to buy pre made.

You could, very easily.
I’ve thought of it and never done it, for two reasons. First, If I’m going to
the trouble of making the tape, why would I make a length of tape and then cut
it up and sew it onto the pattern to resemble tape lace, when I could so easily
have just made real tape lace
