[lace] Carmen's Lace
I have been looking at pictures of the lace that Carmen has been making. Look on the flicker account and you will see a handkerchief edging she is making. By the way she is done with it and I am looking forward to seeing it off the pillow. It is Ret-Fi lace that is very similar to Bucks Point lace.Here is my question to you all. When you look at the work you can not see any pin holes on either the inside or outside of the whole and half stitch work. How in the world does she do that? I know that she adds a lot of bobbins when she does the whole and half stitch parts of the lace because you can see all the threads that she has cut the bobbins off of coming out of the pins. I know how to do Bucks Point and I know how to do the net, the whole stitch, the half stitch but how does she make those without pinholes in the work?Karisse - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Speed and efficiency in lace?
I am making lace for an alb. I want to get it done before I die and that may take some two hours every day. LOL. Anyway if someone could research what the women did who made it fast and accurate for a living, to put food on the table and clothes on their backs, I would love to learn. I want to start with the leather on the pillow.

I felt I was experiencing, in a very small way, the way it was for the commercial lace makers, doing it for money. For them, speed meant food on the table. So learning to make lace as fast as I can, accurately, is something that interests me. Clearly practice is important, but also there must be certain techniques taught.

It seems that a one-hand "flick" of the pairs (fairly low on the bobbins' shafts), (continental bobbins, palms down) instead of picking them up is this lacemaker's technique. I just tried it on the pillow, and it will take some practice to get used to, but it might be worth the effort! I normally pick up the bobbins, and if I try to work faster this way, the bobbins start to "bounce" off the pillow (and tangling them out of order). A light, one-handed flick is a much more efficient movement that would avoid this problem too. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Speed and efficiency in lace?
I think the idea of community effort to make a large project is a great
idea. I know that was practiced in the past to get a large project finished in
the smallest amount of time. Many different lace makers would work on a
portion of the lace and then a trained person would sew the pieces together. I
would love to participate in a project that was like that.

Hi Elena and Arachnids
I'm very intrigued
by this as well and find it interesting that
contemporary lacemakers don't
value speed and efficiency as much as
knitters do for example. Anyone who has
learned how to play a musical
instrument can attest to muscle memory not
happening after a week or a
month of practice, yet the reward for regular
practice is noticeable
improvement. The joy of experiencing your hands on
auto-pilot and your mind
seemingly blocking out every other stimulus with a
razor-like focus is a
"destination" worth practicing for. (I am not nearly
there at all... but I
have glimpsed a couple of "nearly there" moments)
Of
course, it doesn't help that many lacemakers are inquisitive of many
different
styles and techniques (the equivalent of taking up multiple
musical
instruments...)
I'm equally intrigued by the idea of communal work as a means
to create
efficiency - to have a collective work on a large scale project
("large" in
effort, and not necessarily in size) and of what value that could
be for
commemorative objects, or simply for building a community. From time to
time such projects arise, and they are all commendable, but it would be
great
to see more and to see lace collectives confidently engaging with
their
immediate communities *and* the broader public (through major public
art
commissions for instance...)
Please keep this conversation going? Any hack
might just turn out to be the
thing that was missing in someone's technique.
(That said, I've seen a
couple of unique knitters do very counterintuitive
finger gymnastics at
incredible speeds, so it might just boil down to practice
in the end.)
One thing I can highly recommend from experience is to sand and
polish your
DIY bobbins to the absolute smoothest finish you can because
super-careful
bobbin management on the pillow to keep your thread from
snagging slows
things down significantly. (Guess who's on sanding duty for the
next couple
of days in order to avoid that frustration again?)

Re: [lace] Speed and efficiency in lace?
In the last few years it seems to me that we have emphasized perfection over speed in making lace. I find that I am faster when I use continental bobbins vs. using spangled bobbins. I have learned to do the the whole stitch where you move both the cross and the twist together across the an area of whole stitch. I have timed myself and I am about equal in time as doing it separate. But I haven't practiced very much either. I will agree that practice makes faster. I do try to make some lace everyday and I know it helps with muscle memory. I think perfection is important when we are making pictures to hang on the wall but I wonder if speed isn't more important if we are making yardage to use on clothes. I am making some Bedfordshire to put on my masks and if someone is so close to my mask that they can see a rogue twist or cross they are all together too close to my mask. I just want to get some lace on my face. LOL Karisse in cold wet Washington State.

[lace] Miss Channer's Mat
I have made the mat in white thread. Here are my answers to your questions. 1. I was putting in and taking out pairs of bobbins all along the way so I didn't get a whole number count for the number of bobbins used in all. It will also depend on the size of thread you use and the tension on your cloth stitch areas how many threads you want. Also the size of thread will make a difference in the number of bobbins. Thicker thread will take less bobbins and thinner thread more. Depends on what you are used to or what you like. 2. When it comes to thread you do have a choice of colors now, materials such as linen, cotton, and silk. If you use linen then the mat will be firmer, Cotton not as firm, and silk will be very soft. Depends on what you like. And of course there are all sorts of sizes of threads. 3. Once again on the gimp bobbins you will be taking the gimps in and out. There will not be one line of gimp that goes all the way through the whole piece. 4. My advice is to get Alexander Stillwell's book on Floral Bucks Point Lace and read it from cover to cover. Her other book called Geometrical Bucks Point Lace is also a good resource. There are many good books to find ways to solve the problems Miss Channer's mat will present you. See it as a puzzle and if one technique does not produce the look you want then try another.  That my two bits on Miss Channer's mat. Karisse Moore Now in Mt.

[lace] Lace in the present
I have been offering and teaching tatting and bobbin lace through the local college. I thought that I would only get a few students and that they would mostly be older. But that is not the way it has turned out. I have four to eight new students at each class and they are young, 8-13years old and older, above 80. I have been doing this for two years now and the local Hobby Lobby store has increased the tatting thread and shuttles it sells. I know that when the students go in and ask for the tatting equipment they are told that the only equipment they have are tatting needles, but when they get back to that section of the store there are shuttles. In offering these classes through the local college means I have a wide spread base of people who learn about lace and are given the opportunity to learn something new. My classes in the summer are the big ones and the classes during the school year have fewer students. It is always interesting to me during the first class to have the students tell me about how they learned about tatting or bobbin lace. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Re:Lace around a window
Dear Spiders, Before I comment on the window lace I want to add my prayers and thoughts to those in London. My heart is so sad. You all have very good ideas. I like the one of mixing the lace and maybe doing the trails and leaves in bobbin lace and some of the flowers in tatting. I am going to try the heavy starched tatting idea and see if it works. If I did tight tatting then if I starched it and put it up, when I move or if it gets terribly dusty I could put it in the washing machine and wash out the starch and dirt and then redo the starch when I get to a new home. I hope I don't move for at least 5 more years. I don't want to do traditional lace in the window like lace curtains. I have that in all the bathrooms and the living room. This window looks out on the back yard of dogs and sons and husbands so I thought I could do something different. I have never tried wire lace so I think I will try heavy cotton and see what happens. I will take pictures and get back with you. Please don't expect it next week. I am slower than that. What weight of cotton thread or string would be best? I like the idea of rolling the string up and not using a shuttle. Maybe I could get my husband to carve me a huge shuttle? Good thoughts.

[lace] Lace around a window
Well, it all started out with a new paint job in my kitchen and now I want to put lace around the three windows that look out on my backyard. I was thinking that I could do painting but I don't paint flowers or stencil and I wanted to use an art or craft form that I didn't have to learn. Maybe I could do a pattern in tatting using really big thread and glue it to the wall. I could do one color and have it look like carved wood or something in plaster. Or I could use bright colored thread and have it look very folk art. Then I remembered that I like the look of Bruges lace and that style of lace has all sorts of wonderful flowers to make. I was reading a very old copy of Lace magazine and found instructions on making three D Bruges and that gave me another idea. Again I could use one color of thread and have the lace look carved or I could use bright colors. But, would thread be a good medium to glue to the wall and when I leave this house could I take all my work off the wall and take it with me? So I was thinking maybe I could do this in wire Bruges. I would get different color wire and rather thick. Or I could do it in black and have it look like wrot iron. What do you all think? Please help me with this idea. Prose and Cons. Right now the idea is just in the beginning stages. Has anyone done something like this before. I know that Lanka has done great art in wire lace. I am not planning on doing anything like that. I just want something to go around my windows, kinda like stenciling or toile painting.

[lace] Auction pictures
OK, If it took 10 women, 10 years to make one of those shawls then if you put that into today and todays pay checks that would mean each shawl cost how much to make?

I have put the pricking up and if any of you know what Bucks filling is suppose to be put there please let me know. Or if this pricking is not a bucks point pricking please let me know. Anyway I learned a lot from doing this mat. I had no picture and no instructions except the pricking itself. This is the piece I was doing that used so many bobbins. The pricking kept climbing up the pins. One other thing about the pricking climbing up the pins is that when I took the pins out from the back of the mat I think that pulling up also helped the pricking to rise. I don't know.

[lace] Lots of Passives
I have only done buckspoint and I don't know anything about chantille, anyway I do have experience with lots of passives on the head side of the lace. When I get more than four passives I work a whole stitch through the first pair of the passives and then threat the next three pair like a single thread and hold one pair up the next down the next up and so forth until the last pair before the pico. I work a whole stitch with that pair and make the pico. On the way back I only bring the pair that made the pico through the first two or three pair, not usually all the way back into the lace. I use one of the closer pair to go into the lace. I am doing a large piece now that has lots of passives in the head side and I am just taking out some of the pairs when I get more than about 6 or 7 and adding them again when I need them down farther in the lace. But I am lacing rather alone and don't have good input into what is done in these situations. I know that lacemakers used to have solutions to these problems and talked about them like I talk about how to deal with pet hair now. Your idea about putting a pin in to hold the threads of the bobbins you aren't using has made all the difference for me in this project. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I am having my husband make me some of those huge pins out of hangers for me. One advantage of using those is that they keep the bobbins in order and I won't have to spend so much time straightening them out when I change places to work on.

[lace] Stiffening lace bookmarkers
One of the things that I want in a book mark is to be stiff, real stiff. So I take mine to a copy store like Kinko's or Office Max and have them laminated in a pocket laminating plastic. These come in several different weights and are like two sheets of plastic connected at one end. I place my bookmarks in between the sheets and the attendant puts the sheets through a heating machine that seals the two plastic sheets together. I take it home and cut the bookmarks out and punch a hole in the top for a ribbon . I don't have to worry about the lace getting dirty and I don't have to worry about it ever loosing it's stiffness. I also have put messages on small colored paper in with the lace. I have no idea if this lace will last forever or if the plastic will destroy it some day, but it works for me now.

[lace] Pattern lifting
My dear friends I am so glad you are there to correct and inform. I am working on a rectangle bucks point pattern that is about 4X6 inches. I have it on a relatively flat cookie pillow. I didn't have any wrinkles in the pattern to pin out on the edges when I put the pattern on the pillow. As I have worked down the pattern the card stock worked up off the pillow but the lace itself did not work up the pins. I slanted the edge pins to the side and back so the lace was held tight against the pricking and did not move up the pins. But the pricking card itself moved up the pins. I was wondering if a pattern like this was worked on a bolster pillow, if the pricking card would stay on the bolster pillow. I have worked many yards of buckspoint lace on roller pillows and not had the problem of the pricking card coming up from the pillow. But when I work a pattern on a cookie type pillow I have this problem. I can't see how one would take care of all the bobbins on a bolster pillow when you are working a large pattern like this that uses so many pairs of bobbins. I have midland spangled bobbins because I like to use them with my roller pillows and my cookie pillows to do bucks point but if I went to using a huge bolster pillow to make this wide lace what do I do with the 300 to 400 bobbins while I am working with the 10 to 20? How did they keep the bobbins from all coming down in front? Did they wrap the extra bobbins in cover clothes and pin them to the side? Did they tie them together and pin them to the side? Has anyone worked a pattern wider than 4 inches and used more than 300 bobbins on a bolster pillow? Thanks for your help and your ideas. And I think I am bonkers too just to think about making some lace like this. OK, bucks thumper is what I meant. Thanks for the smile. I have Christine Springettes book on Fine Buckinghamshire Point lace patterns and I am thinking about making some of the lace in this book but I don't want to fight the patterns coming off the pillow and so I was wondering if I would have to make a huge bolster pillow like I have seen in some pictures of ladies making point lace.

[lace] Straw pillows
I can't help but laugh when I read about getting straw out of a field and making a pillow. I did just that and got alot of straw to make a Honiton pillow. I had not seen or felt a real honiton pillow so when I made mine out of straw I started with the directions in Elsie Luxton's first book. I am a school teacher so I took it to school with me and had my students jump up and down on the straw pillow to make it hard. They loved putting straw in the pillow and then jumping up and down on it. I had heard that someone made one hard by running the car over it so that it mashed together well. I had no idea what a firm or hard honiton pillow felt like so I had no idea when to stop the jumping. The students soon burst the seams and I, not wanting to loose all that hard work, made a larger pillow case and put the old one in it and stuffed straw around the broken one. I then jumped on the pillow until it was done. Now I have a very hard, like wood hard, honiton pillow that weighs in around 15 lbs and is about 50 inches in diamiter and 12 inches high. My dear husband made me a special table to hold it. When I don't use the table to hold it, I put it on the floor and sit there to work on it. That is comfortable for me as I am used to working on the floor teaching 3,4 and 5 year olds.

[lace] Straw pillows
Yes, I did mean circumference not diameter. But I have another question. I have noticed in some of the pictures of people making bucks point lace that is very wide, like more than 4 inches wide, that they are making the lace on very large cylinder pillows. Would that help with the pattern coming up from the pillow? I have a problem with the pattern coming up from the pillow when I do bucks on a cookie pillow. My husband thinks it is the stretching of the pattern when I put the pins in. I know we have discussed this on lace before.

[lace] Iron on patterns
I was shopping in San Antonio, TX at a small store called the Yarn Barn and found some magazines with Cantu lace in them. What intrigued me was that the patterns were to be ironed on the pricking card like you would iron on an embroidery pattern to a piece of cloth. Has anyone tried this and how does it work out and do the markings come off the pricking onto your lace? Oh, lots of questions. The name of the magazine is Pizzo di Cantu Do you need to cover the pricking with something after you iron it on? Just wondering who has had experience with these and what it was? Karisse A.
