Re: [lace] Fixing lace to a background

[Alice Howell]

 I suggest checking the rules of the contest you are interested in entering. 
Some do not want the work mounted.  They want to be able to see both sides of
the work.  Judges have to follow the rules in effect even if they don't like
the rules.
I think glue on a contest item would make a judge cringe, even when mounting
is permitted.  When I was judging, I never met up with glue so never had to
deal with it.

 I have just be studying my copy of “Tatting Artistry in Threads�

Art board, to form the pictures (which are lovely) Is this an acceptable way
of fixing tatting to a background – and would it be accepted by a Judge
in a
competition?

I have only ever stitched lace to a fabric background, so am quite taken
aback
by this method, and am wondering if Show and Competition Judges would pass
that method, - or would they disqualify the piece?

Personally, I cannot see what is wrong with it, as the pieces will never be
used, or removed from the setting, - so why not, -- but I wonder if it would
be acceptable when up against other pieces for Judging.

I would be interested in other people’s thought on it- especially if
you are
a Judge at Shows!
