Hello fellow spiders, I have been very busy recently reworking my lace garter for my future daughter in law to wear in 2 weeks time. The lace is complete, the elastic and ribbon threaded through and I have her leg measurements and I have just cut the elastic to get ready to sew together. Happy so far. I stretched the garter to its full size and then released it to gather again and find the ribbon ends up with big loops sticking up from some of the spots around the length. My question is how does every one deal with this, the loops are wider apart to allow better threading (which was one failing from my original one) and even that had lumps sticking out in various places. The only thing I can think of is cutting the ribbon a little shorter and allowing the bride to tie a bow with the ends once she has it on her leg. Is this the way it should be done? Am now short of time to complete and get this handed over. Many thanks in advance. Sue T Dorset UK
