"...you will need to leave probably at least a couple of inches of pins in
place so that you're not 'gathering' the lace as
you tension..." Jacquie in Lincolnshire
Perhaps naive, and that I am used to dressing most of my knitted lace regularly
so inclined towards water.
It seems if one has covered their pricking with adhesive film and can "zone"
the mist either with nozzle adjustment or covering what one does not what to
get wet, a mist of water before bed at night, or follow up during the day with
a gentle fan or even blow dryer could hasten the setting process? I suppose a
quick hit of steam from an iron would do it too if not so hot to warp the
plastic protection.
I know this isn't about the "linen thread cooperating" question, but I am of
the old days when pressing and setting with a 1:2, vinegar to water ration for
setting creases (and releasing them) was commonly used.
I suppose that water could wick down the pins and create a real problem with
ruining the backside of the pricking, pillow, and/or rusting pine that aren't
stainless (thus avoided), but it keeps coming to mind and I thought I would ask.
A controlled mist...LOL
Best,
