I wish I could make floral Bucks. I've been ages working very slowly through my how-to-make-Bucks book. What does your edging look like? How wide is it? How many bobbins does it use (it's exciting to use lots of bobbins; the most I've ever used was 50 pairs)? Did you get it from a book? What size thread and how many holes per inch? I'd like to aim for making Bucks at the standard size but it is not clear to me what the standard size is. My books don't go into that. I'm pretty sure the size at which I now work, using Egyptian Cotton 80/2, is too big. Should I be aiming for cotton 100/2? 120/2? I don't know what my goal should be.
