Hi Sue and Arachnids,
Beginnings and endings in lace are always a problem as we only do one of
each on a piece of continuous lace. In the case of a garter I would hide the
start/finish with a ribbon/bow and maybe something that is special to the
bride, i.e. a couple of small light-weight bells for a bell-ringer or couple
of doll's size lace bobbins for a lace-maker etc.
I like the idea of a double garter, but be careful that it is not too thick
and shows through the dress, especially with some brides' penchant for ultra
slim dresses.
Happy lace making,
Joepie, East Sussex. UK

2 years ago I worked a lace garter using my own design, .........>
..........<I began the strip on a straight line across rather than the
offset way with
fans, diamonds and other pattern shapes, as there was no obvious places to
disguise the threads at the end, thinking that at least I would hide that
point by attaching ribbon and flower decoration.
Can I ask what other arachnians would have done please?
