Has anyone tried this type of lace. I'm thinking of doing some for a christening gown. The part that scares me, though, is that you put in the ground after you make the motifs, thus joining them together. It seems to me that it would be difficult to keep the ground looking even as you do this. Has anyone done this, and is it hard to keep it even?
No it's not hard - just fiddly. My method was to finish all the various motifs and then tack them on to brown paper. That'll keep the little blighters in place. Then simply work around them, joining as you go in whatever ground you choose to use - the most common being a chain of 5 sts. with a picot half way along it.
