Hi Nancy
The length of Bucks gimps depends entirely on the design. The gimps may run
the length of the lace or you can have just a six-pin honeycomb ring with a
gimp surrounding it, i.e. added immediately before it is started and doubled
up and cut off after the six pins have been worked. This is
Hooray. It's arrived! Now I just need time to read it.

Hi,
My 'Lace' was on the mat waiting for me when I got home today. It will have
to wait until I have finished my class tonight. Looking forward to curling
up with it and a cup of hot cocoa when I get home!

Catherine, your Snow Queen Panel was the piece that got me hooked on
needlelace when I saw it in Sansepolcro!
Could you tell me what kind of thread you used to do it?
Many thanks

oops. forget what I just said about right side in Flanders & Mechlin The
explanation below makes perfect sense. I guess the gimp in Bucks is almost
always continuous?
This is why I asked--I'm learning a lot from this discussion.

Thank you, Brenda! That makes sense about the prominence of the gimp, and I
suppose would be true for Flanders, Mechlin, etc. for the same reason.
I hope my comment about the width of the English channel wasn't offensive. One
of my favorite quotes is from the English weather broadcast that rep
In Flanders and Binche, the lace is worked with the "wrong" side up. In
Binche, this is because we add pairs and throw them out frequently, and when the lace is
taken off the pillow and the threads trimmed, the tiny little whiskers are on the wrong

Thanks again.

Dear Arachnids
Piece laces, i.e. those made in pieces joined together with sewings and
grounds added later, e.g. Honiton, are obviously made wrong side uppermost.
Our English straight laces, Bucks and Beds, are traditionally considered to be
made right side uppermost. When you have made a piece, a
