[lace] 6 Corners & Erdmute Wesenbergs Ecken (Pt de Lille, Liebenau und Erzgebirge)

Hello Lacemakers, I have been contemplating doing my proifieciency with the Australian Lace Guild in Point Ground. I have to be able to execute 6 different types of corners and as part of my research I have tried to translate pages 6 & 7 of the "Ecken" book. I wonder if any translation exists alre

[lace] Holding Roller Pillow

Hi Spiders, I have a very handy husband who when presented with a rachet spanner and a request for a roller pillow obliged - exceedingly well. I bought a cheap rachet spanner which had the head cut off and the end that usually holds a socket was embedded in the end of the wooden dowel that formed

[lace] Pens and plastic for prickings

Greetings Lacemakers, I have just read Steph Peters wise remarks about inkjet printers and lace. I second this comment and especially as I live in the tropics where a warm finger seems able to smudge injet printing. My solution is to print on heavy paper upto 200gsm which goes well through th

[lace] Sister Judith Method

Gentle Spiders, Is there anyone who can lace the Sister Judith method. I keep trying it every now and then as I was absolutely fascinated watching Lisbeth working this way at Tonder. (2001) My query is this:- when doing the last C of the CTC, do you at this stage also make the first C of th

[lace] Pillow Bag - horizontal

Hello Gentle Spiders, My favourite carry bag is a simple piece of fabric cut about 6 inches - 15 cm larger than the pillow base and hemmed all around to take a piece of strong elastic. Takes up no room when removed - as no padding. I can put it over my pillow while the pillow is still on its sta

Alice, What are you tackling? I have just opened the roses book and am thinking of starting no 5 or 6. What stitch are you using? The ground diagrams in the bobbin lace book do not show what stitch is made above and below the pin except perhaps in grounds no. 3 and 4 (roundabout and ring groun

Alice, Thank for your prompt reply, and with so much thought behind it. I get the feeling you really enjoy EK's patterns. They certainly do have a style all their own. Joyce Moes Lake Placid (Cairns, at the tropical end of Australia) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROT

[lace] Stil Bluten

Hi Janice, You wrote Piper's 4/20 in black, white or ecru as the main thread. I think she is also using Piper's 90 Floss in colors but has not been specific about colors and quantity. Since I will not be selling in Montreal this year you would need to get the thread for this course in advance

[lace] 8 Times its Weight in Gold

Greetings Gentle Spiders, I am trying to put together some material for an Introduction to/ Demonstration of Bobbin Lace for our club. I seem to remember from arachne several years ago the statement that at one stage lace was worth up to 8 times its weight in gold. Could anyone help please with t

[lace] 8 Times its Weight in Gold

Greetings Gentle Spiders, A big thank you to all who replied. You have given me food for thought about my intro to bobbin lace. I was not attempting to put a value on my work using yesterday's standards, but rather to give a newcomer to BL some idea of the how expensive lace was in the 1700s. B

[lace] A Mangling Experience

Hello Gentle Spiders, I have tried mangling on a round doyley. After mounting the lace, the linen centre "pouted" a little. The lace was cotton, No 5 from Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti's Roses in Bobbin Lace and after my mangling attempt on a laminated surface with a teflon type of rolling pin the li

[lace] Hand or Machine

Now then do you hand sew or machine sew your lace on to material. I machine sew the fabric to create an imitation spoke stitch. Then hand sew the lace to the fabric with very fine cotton. My hope is that if the lace is caught the stitching may break rather than the lace. It also enables the l
