Before I can start on my point ground samples, I needed to clear my pillow. After finishing pattern #3 in Intro to Bedfordshire Lace by Jean Leader, I wasn't as thrilled as I had hoped to be. I've posted a pic to Arachne Flickr & would appreciate some constructive comments. The pattern calls for Tanne 30--I don't own any--so I substituted Cordonnet Special 70. The lace is very textural with the cordonnet, not the smooth, crisp appearance that I was anticipating. Did I use the wrong thread? Will mangling help? Am I misinformed about how it should look when finished? I elected not to use tatting cotton because I wanted traditional white. Many thanks for any suggestions. Sincerely, Susan Hottle FL, USA
