[lace] Re: Lace not Lace
What a good morning - Devons nice newsy writeup of the Hunterdon exhibition hang in the Arachne digest, and my copy of the exhibition catalogue arrived in the mail (from Book Depository with free postage to anywhere in the world). I love how each artist in the exhibition has a properly informative essay to go with the pictures and description of each piece.

Re: [lace] Binche
Susan, thank you for showing that you can learn the techniques of Binche by expanding the pricking and using a thicker thread. I've been battling for years that to learn a technique you need to see the threads clearly and as some of us are aging , instead of using magnifiers we should consider using thicker threads instead. When I was in Brugge for the festival, one of the men demonstrating lace at the Brewery was making a Binche edging is thick linen, he was using his teachers working diagrams as the pricking. Lace was beautiful and study enough to pop it in the washing machine!

[lace] Binche
Hello All! I am living proof that one can work a beginner Binche pattern & live to tell the tale! A friend in BC suggested pattern 1 in Binche Deel 1 by Bep V R de Vries. With her help & coaching by email, my bookmark is now finished & posted to Arachne Flickr. Thanks to all who have mastered the art of tensioning take ins & take outs without support pins. Your comments are duly noted but in the end, there were just too many challenges for me to manage at once & I succumbed to helper pins. The good news is, once it's off the pillow, no one knows what tricks were used! The unpinned method will be among my goals once I have a better understanding of this lace. The book is B-387 in the IOLI library & a few cute patterns are on my radar: a little peacock, a snail & some Christmas trees. The book will be returned next week in case anyone else wants to give Binche a try. I enlarged the pattern 145% & used Aurifil Mako 50/2 cotton thread.
