Subject: [lace] Buttony redux
In one place the author talks about "wrapping the thread" around the ring
while in another she mentions that blanket stitch is used. It seems to me
it
would have to be blanket stitch. Anne Kellaway says "Then I wrap the
thread
across the ring to make spokes for the wheel, and then backstitch round
and
round each spoke, so the thread fills in the space. At the end I gather
it in
the center with a stitch, and there be your button".
The Reference to wrapping and blanket stitch is correct.
In Dorset Button making both blanket stitch and wrapping are used - first
the ring is buttonholed all round and then the spokes are wrapped around the
ring before they are backstitched or woven to form the centre.
