The first time and only time I have worn this top, so far I tucked my hand
made lace hanky but found that lace on its own didn't lay well and as I
moved about so did it so what I am doing with this piece is to attach it to
the top so it stays there. I believe that it will wash well, folded

Hi Sue and spiders,
Do you want to use this modesty panel for this top only? .
Thank you very much Joepie. I have to say that pinned in place it really
looks to be part of the top, so I am very pleased and keen to make it look
good.
Also I should have said the photo is now (instead of not, LOL). Sorry for
the typo, grin.

Hi Sue,
Very nice! I can see why you
There were so many lace days in Spain in April, 40 that I listed on the
LaceNews events calendar http://lacenews.net/lace-event-calendars/. The
number peaked on April 22nd when in addition to the 10 I had listed, there
were 14 additional ones that I just couldn't fit on the calendar! Each one
Jacquie and I were at the Lace Event in Camariñas again this year - this
time as exhibitors. Last year we were visitors but had nowhere to 'call our
own' space and had to find little corners to sit and make lace. We were
surprised at how many people told us that they didn't know that there

Iâve been making Flanders, using Barbara Corbetâs book, which I highly

off more than I can reasonably chew by tackling # XI in Kumiko Nakazakiâs

Hi Lyn,
I don't quite understand your problem - are you working 4 pairs at a time?
When you are doing the ground stitch, are arranging your 4 pairs, double
stitching in the middle, half stitching on one side, half stitching on the
other, pin, double in the middle?
Or is it in the cloth
Dear Sally, et al,
Sorry for not being more clear. It's in the cloth stitch areas where
there are decreases that the problem lies. Ground stitch is no problem, it's
CTCT all 4 times, and that locks in anything. Since ring pairs and what I call
pseudo ring pairs at the bottom of a cloth
BINGO!! so you give yourself something to tension against. I'm assuming insect
pins. That should make things a lot easier. Any other thoughts anyone? Lyn

I usually use tacking stitches to add lace to garments so they are easily
removed and can be reused on other garments. I do leave them on for washing
and
usually only remove them once the garment is not at its best and headed to use
for not for best wear. In your case, as suggested, you
Hello All! My Honiton weekend in Ohio was fun interesting--two leaves, each
1/2 finished! It looks like I will have some pretties for a CQ patch yet this
summer. One is a tap leaf the other has a voided center with cucumber
tally bars. All that adding, tossing sewing made my head spin.
Lyn,
I generally put in a temporary plait with the two pairs that are exiting the
ground. That holds the pair that is turning the corner and becomming the
worker up against the pin. Then you just have to remember to remove the plait
and put in the right number of twists before you begin the

Dear Liz et al,
Thanks for the input. Y'know, my Dad always said, When in doubt, read the
directions. I checked my book, the one by Barbara Corbet, which I highly
recommend, and she suggests the plait. However it seems to me that the pin
solution is faster, and possibly more accurate. I
