Hi, I'm Helen, and I live in Queensland, Australia. I've just begun

Hi T!
Just a thought to chew on. When my son got married I made
his darling bride a garter. A very dear friend of mine designed
and made a pair of wedding moths for them. (In England they

Hi Helen,
Welcome to the world of lacemaking - you'll find there are quite
a few Australian lacemakers on Arachne.
I've emailed you privately about Australian suppliers, most of whom
don't have web sites. And a lot of us were in the same boat when
we started - not knowing where to get cheap, ever
Sorry about the confusion! Yes, Richard Worthen is providing the
commemoratives at the Spring NCRL lace day. I was referring to the FALL lace
day in my note!
Richard's bobbins have a consistent design and are beautifully finished. When
made for commemoratives, he has them engraved by laser,

But you would have to add postage to the $7.50 so you probably didn't pay
that much more.

Hello all,
I am new to this list. My name is Agnes Boddington.

My husband has made several different lovely continental bobbins for me. He

he had a chance to take a worksh

First Question: Does anyone know, for a fact, if there is an official
mascot for tatters? If so, what is it, when was it made official and by
whom?
Many have used the hedgehog, as it seems to be the mascot for lacemakers,
with it's quills that look like straight pins in a pin cu

To Helen, in Qld., Oz - I have written to you off list with some Helpful ( I
hope!) information.
There are lots of bobbin makes in Oz, but most don't have web sites. There
are also quite a few suppliers of lacemaking gear. Again - few have web
sites, but I have sent you that information, too.
Okay, here's a brief summary:
CT is half stitch. I've never heard another term for it.
CTC makes woven fabric, so one of its names is cloth stitch. Those
places where BL is done with linen thread call it linen stitch. The
English call it whole stitch.
CTCT is a different stitch. Since it i

Hi Jenny,
You have jumped into the world of lacemaking terms
with both feet. We're all there with you. I hope
this may help sort it out.
There are two schools of bobbin lacemaking -- the
Continental Method and the English Method.
The English terminology is:
Half Stitch CT
Whole Stitch
wasn't there a frog mascot that was being sent around to various tatting
groups?

In Stillwell's dictionary, both double stitch and double half stitch
are given as equal to
"cloth and twist" (sic)
and I'm just as happy calling it CTCT !
