Hi Joseph, I have thought about this, especially incorporating overshot patterns. As others have said, you would have to consider the fact that bobbin lace is worked as two weft rows at a time. I envisioned doing a drawdown to plot the pattern rows to follow (which would be woven with a

Joseph, I have taken this same approach with braids. It is great fun and adds texture to areas which can otherwise be flat. The main issue I have run into is having the repeats fall in line with the same place they want to be for cloth stitch. I would think this would closer with weaving
