I am not familiar with the Brioude style for leaves, but from the
descriptions, it sounds like the same method that Anny Noben-Slegers
uses. I've tried that, and may as well be using the toes on my feet!!
It does not work for me at all!!
If someone is familiar with Brioude and also with Anny's method of
working leaves and talleys, could you tell me if they are one and the
same? Just curious.

I have been making leaves in the Brioude style for quite a while now.
However, I can't bring my right thumb over to pick up the bobbins. (
This has to do with what must be arthritis in the thumb joint.) So,
when I turn my right hand over to pick up the bobbin, I grasp it with
my two first fingers, not using the thumb at all, and it seems to work
just fine. Also, I hook my little fingers around the outside threads
of the leaf to hold them taut. I think I may remember that in Brioude
they used the first two fingers to hold those threads, but since my
thumb is useless I have had to switch things around a bit. I hope
this makes sense and helps a bit.
