When I work my cordonette I usually lay in a couple of threads in the
colour I am buttonholing with. These threads and the snugly worked
buttonhole over the top will more than cover the base thread you have
used for the foundation I would think.
Hope this helps

I would like to thank all of you that responded to my question - both on and
off the list. After reading all the replies, I realized that I was
overanalyzing the cordonnet. Also, although the book explained how to do
it, I had a hard time visualizing it and applying it to a more complex
pattern.
Hello Brenda,
Sure you can add my photos to your side. I'll send them to you
privately. Also the whole mat after taking this photo.
By the way I also have some machine made Chantilly. If they are for

Hello Ilske
Yes I'm sure that this is another Chinese made needlelace mat.
Would you mind if I added one of your photos to the page on my website;

Hamburg. Guess what I found there. Yes, such a probably Chinese
needle-lace mat. It is 42 cm/ nearly 17 inch. diameter. It has a cetral
rose motiv and around the same a bit smaller and another motiv. I

Hi All, I'm looking forward to reading other people's responses. It
certainly doesn't look very handy for NL with that handle. And if you put
the handle between your legs you'd have to lean over so far. Maybe it was a
"new, modern" design that didn't work and that's why we don't see NL pillows

Hi All, I haven't looked in any books yet but China seems like
a likely place of origin to me too. Something about the way all
the petals are done in two stitches side to side makes me think
