This actually is the problem of having so many pins close to each other - in Torchon, where the pins are more widely spaced, the problem is one of the lace rising up the pins. With Bucks, the card rises off the pillow. I was taught (by Jennifer Ford) to correct this by making sure that the edge pins are slanted correctly (slightly out, slightly back) and the pins between are all absolutely vertical. This is quite often difficult to achieve when you are working on a flat pillow, especially as you tend to work with it on a slope. The pins must be perpendicular to the pillow, so if the back edge is raised, it means placing them towards you, rather than away! Once you start working in this way, you will find that the card will settle back to the pillow again, even if you have a section that remains slightly raised. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
