Somewhere, in one of your lace group libraries, should be a copy of "Het
Lassen en Aannaaien van Kant" or "Joining and Attaching Lace" by Louise
Allis-Viddeleer.
It is the thesis she wrote that was published, though I don't know how many
copies. The front of it also says:Lace Teacher Training "kantentrum"
Bruges14th pormotion, 19th June 1993Pormotor:Â Martine Bruggeman
There was a separate English translation published with it.
It contains detailed instructions and diagrams for overlap joining of many
different styles of lace.
It's a bit rare to find, but there may be a copy in the library of the Lace
Guild or one of the local guilds in your area. If anyone ever sees a copy on
sale, grab it. It's worth it's weight in gold if you are trying the skill
for the first time.
By the way -- it sounds a lot scarier than it really is. The main hint is to
be sure you work plenty of overlap length to give the best choice of pathways
across the lace for the joining. Do at least a full repeat, or even two if
the repeats are small. More if your start was rather messy and you want to
bypass the first few inches.

Having nearly come to the end of a very long term project of a wide
tablecloth edging, I have been contemplating joining it by the overlap method
as I have been told how neat it looks, the problem is I don't know how. Has
anyone on Arachne ever worked this method and knows where can I get
instructions?
