Good morning Arachnids:
I just wanted to share with the lacemakers in the Chicago, Joliet and
Rockford (Illinois) area that there is a Milanese Workshop with Sylvie
Nguyen coming up June 16&17 sponsored by the L.A.C.E. Guild in Clarendon
Hills.
Check out this link:
Hi Arachnids
My thanks to all who have contacted me regarding sources for Milanese lace. I
have passed them all on to my friend who is tracking down the books and
planning a wonderful holiday, visiting as many of the museums as she can fit
in. Wish I could fit into her suitcase.
Happy lacemaking
Hi Arachnids
One of my students is getting interested in Milanese and would like to see
some antique lace. Does anyone know of any museums with collections of this
lace as she wishes to plan her holiday round it?
Happy lacemaking

If your alternate theory is correct it would account for why modern Italian
bobbin laces are nearly all tape laces, and why Flanders developed Brussels
and Duchesse. Of course, the alternate theory could have been invented

That is a very interesting thought. I love that we have such wonderful

Currently I am working on the Russian Lace Making motif. So far this has
been a huge learning lesson for me. Number one. do not use spangled
bobbins.
Many years ago I spent many days at the Art Institute of Chicago studying
their Milanese and Flemish tape laces from the 17th and 18th centuries. I
noticed that there were actually 2 classes of Milanese designs. In one the
decorated tape was always the same width and the number of bobbins

Can you please tell me if it is possible to use a 14 braid pattern and change
it to a 16 by adding the extra bobbins. I was thinking of bringing them in at
the sides so instead of following the pattern by taking the worker through say
the first 4 pairs I would then take it through the
2 pairs without causing confusion
Which braid is it you are thinking of widening?

Thank you for all the help and advice given over the last week about the
milanese lace and threads. I have now taken it off the pillow and although it
is not as good as I would like, partly due to the type of metallic thread I

Rolled edges is a technique used in Withof lace, and is beautifully
described and diagrammed in Yvonne Scheele-Kerkhof's book Dutch Bobbin
Lace Patterns. It isn't difficult to do, and to my mind forms a nicer edge
than the regular sewing edge. It is done around a motif after the motif is
finished.
I think that this swan mask is just wonderful.
But when reading the directions, it says that Edges are rolled at the same
time as the braids are made
What and how are rolled edges. Does it mean that a thread is twisted
around the wire on the edge to hide the wire?
Can someone advise me?
