It is a while since I have done any wire lace but I was lucky enough to have a class with Lenka Suchenak. I do remember that she said to keep the leads to the bobbins very short which gives the wire less chance of kinking, and also that cloth stitch/linen stitch is difficult to tension. Half stitch looks great in wire as do leaves and plaits, so while you are learning, keep the pattern simple.
