Good morning Beth,
Your question: RE:
So.... how many rows do I need to leave in? I'm working a Torchon pattern
in
fine thread (Finca 80), 10 footside pinholes to the inch, and each pattern
repeat is only 4 pinholes long (!) Leaving the pins in for two repeats
would
only be 8 rows -not enough- but leaving a couple of inches worth in would
be
twenty rows of tightly-packed pins.

In my experience it is what kind of lace your are doing....some laces, the
threads interlock very well and so 1 inch is enough but in a Beds project I
was working on, both the instructor and I nearly died when my thread pulled
back into the work three inches because I had taken out my pins too early.
I think it is very important to consider how well your threads are locked
in, as to how far back you remove pins.
Generally I leave 1 to 2 inches. Sometimes it is easier to pull them from
the pin cushion than from the back of the work, so it varies with me. I
will be interested to hear other replies.
Happy lacing everyone.
