Re: [lace] Floral Bucks book

I agree with you. The patterns are lovely and thanks go to Jean for her hard work in producing the book. I am recommending it to several of my more advanced students who are working on Bucks point lace. Happy lace making, Joepie in East Sussex where the weather is chilly and miserable today.

[lace] When do you tension in Torchon?

Hi ladies (and any lurking fellas) We had an interesting discussion on our last lace night - although the night was dedicated to watching Christine Springett's Into to Bedfordshire DVD and having a go at plaits we got on the discussion of tensioning in torchon (what we all make) and it was
