I do have some patterns on bridal crowns, one is in tonder, torchon, Chr.4,
and tape. I made one self, you can see it on the adress below, it is made in
silver. I cant remember what map, it is under things that I have made.

Hi Julie,
Sonne, Mond and Sterne by Inge Theuerkauf has both 5 and 6 pointed stars,
and instructions for making 3D stars too. The book is in German, but my
copy came with an English translation by Stephanie Peters. Torchon stars
are 5 pointed, point ground 6.
Hope you find somethinig you like.
Wow, some people take their cigars very seriously!

Hi Julie !
Can't help much with the bridal crowns. You might want to start off by
going to shops that sell fabrics and notions, and seeing if anyone has a
base for a bridal crown which your daughter likes. Some of the higher-end
shops have bases that only require the addition of lace and/or bead

I promised that I would ask Pompi Parry about bobbins for hair weaving when
I saw her yesterday. We all had a fantastic time at a workshop day. Just
about everyone managed to reach the bottom of a piece of lace intended for a
wall hanging even if the finishing off had to be done later. We had no

Although these are not bobbin lace, there are a number of bridal crowns in
"Tatting Patterns and Designs," by Gun Blomquist and Elwy Persson.

Hi,
Can anyone explain to me the difference between different threads and how
it might affect the lace it's used for? Obviously, the material it's made
out of (cotton, linen, synthetic) will make a difference but how does the
weight work? And what *is* mercerised cotton?

I feel that Brenda Paternoster's book might be just what you need to
answer all of these questions. She explains very clearly how the thread
counts work and also is the most comprehensive thread comparison list I
have ever come across.
I would say that broder machine is the same as the brillian

Hi Antje,
This page shows what I was trying to describe. The only difference was that I
make a loop for my left little finger instead of the plastic ring and the
addition of another divider pin to hold the spool is a good idea.

Almost every major type of lace has a class, though the most popular

I missed last year's IOLI in Harrisburg, PA, and it was the first I've missed

each one is the best money you'll ever spend, and the best time you'll ever
have. The cost is not expensive when you conside
