Hi Alison -
Not all laces are worked with the "wrong" side up! I don't know what
kind of lace you're working, but if it happens to be one that is
traditionally worked "wrong" side up, then the question I would ask
is... does it make a difference with this particular piece? In other
words, when adding beads, you're pretty much defining which is the right
side of the lace! If your piece has some other feature which defines
the top side as the "wrong" side (such as a raised tally), then consider
making that in a different way, such as rolling the worked tally topside
instead of working over it.

Hi everyone
I've been playing about over the last few weeks with different shaped motifs
in bobbin lace. Having found one that I liked I decided to make it again and
add some beads. I put these on using a crochet hook and drawing one thread of
a pair through the bead and threading the other bobbin through the loop as in
a sewing. Of course, when I took the lace off the pillow the beads were now
on the 'wrong' side of the lace. I have been wondering, is there a way to put
beads on a piece of lace so that they end up on the 'right' side of the lace
without sewing them on afterwards?
