Reminds me someone once mailed me a clearer diagram for Flanders following the route also shown by Mary Niven in her book on flanders but drawn differently. With this diagram I could enhance Louise's drawing using colour to distinguish between the ... (sorry, can't find this word) and returning route. It is on http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lassen/LouiseAllisViddeleer.gif Louise's route still left me a problem at the turning point. Reminds me also I still have two UFO's waiting to try this technique for the first time.

Re: [lace] Mounting lace on fabric
The most exhaustive work on the subject of (joining and ) mounting lace is "Het Lassen en Aannaaien van Kant" by Louise Allis-Viddeleer. There is also a translation by Ineke van den Kieboom. The work was done as part of her Teacher Training at Kantcentrum in Bruges, and my copy is quite dog-eared from much use. Does anyone know if this is still in print? I don't think I've seen it with any of our vendors, but it's one of those "essentials" that, IMO, all good lacemakers should have!

[lace] Mounting lace on fabric
The second Elsie Luxton book has directions for sewing a Honiton lace motif to fabric (ie handkerchief corner) and finishing the rest of the edge. As I looked for the book to give you its name I realised it's not there. I must look in my "library book" to see which student has it, because whoever it is its been gone for years rather than months or I'd have remembered it's not here. Anyway, it's the Honiton designs not techniques one, written by just Elsie Luxton. Just be very aware that the first round of stitches is worked one way up over the lace and reversed when used on the fabric edge. It does say this quite clearly but I still managed to not reverse it. When I came to do the second round I discovered that I wasn't able to make the finished off edge on the fabric bit (ie over 3/4 of the edge!) and had to undo it all. It's still a UFO as I got bored with it and cross with myself.
