once you have finished the basic sewing on the sewing pad, and have only
the nett and the organdie, you should wash the piece in warm soap suds
before cutting the extras off and before making the inner fillings.
I have the Springett video on Carrickmacross with Carol Williamson. She uses
polyester net with cotton organdie. She says that once the sewing is
completed, remove the net and organdie from the backing tissue and butter

I like diagrams a lot too. I agree it's a good idea to try to change things to
get the effect you like instead of just following the pattern exactly, but
first I'd like to know how whoever made the pattern did it, since they probably

Robin and Tamara and all
I think we've had similar discussions on the usefulness of diagrams before.
I think in this matter I'm closer to Robin's view than Tamara's. It may be
a function of the kinds of lace we are trying to make.

Another thing diagrams are very useful for is when using threads in different
colors - I can just go over the diagram with a colored pencil and I know where
all of my threads are going, and I can fiddle if I'd prefer them to go somewhere
