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

I wonder if any translation exists alre

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

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

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
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,

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

to get the thread for this course in advance

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
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
Hello Gentle Spiders,
I have tried mangling on a round doyley. After mounting the lace, the

Then hand sew the lace to the fabric with very fine cotton. My hope is that
