For many years there has been a lacemaker automaton in the upstairs widow of
Rococo's lace shop in Brugge.

Hi, folks.
My thanks to Jean in Poole and Noelene in Australia for their advice over
pasting this on Arachne; I'm running out of time, but have been away
(delivering my daughter back to Uni), during which I managed to get to Bowes
Museum to see the lace; thanks so much to Arachne members who
Gave me the shivers

Could someone send me the link to the you tube video of the lace makers of
Arenys de Mar. I thought I had kept Carolinas message with the link but it
seems I deleted it instead. I went to you tube and saw the tatting and
other Belgian lacemakers but can't seem to find the Arenys De Mar lace
Hi All
Watched those videos... what a challenge - to be able to work at even
a 10th of that speed!! I suppose I may speed up in time, but I still
tend to count when I think I've made a mistake.
On the other hand - if it did rain, blow a gale or 3..., snow, or all
the usual weather
After watching the lace-making robot, I noticed a video followed that
was called tatting. Once again, it is not tatting, but it is bobbin
lace! I think Schneeberger. Maybe if someone is able to log in (I have
not registered) they could email the creator of this video and let them
know. The
I think it may be tape lace...at first I was thinking Schneeberger
because the pillow looked like one Lia Baumeister used, and the bobbins
were German hooded ones (Schneeberger is a German lace I believe...but I
don't see the little edge that Schneeberger has on the pattern, so I
guess it's
Its so frustrating - everybody keeps on about this but mine comes
through in slow motion what am I doing wrong?

The robot looks quite scary, even threatening near the end.
I did not see any lace being made, just her hands weaving over a pillow
with a piece of lace on it.

Hello Maxine,
Sorry if I correct you. But the first video under this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lZIPkx1dkkNR
shows lacemakers in Erzgebirge, probably from Schwarzenberg, Germany.
The designs are typical 20cent. Erzgebirge.
The next ones I didn't find time to look at. I'll do it later.

Lace pillows can be carried vertically or horizontally. I think that
the bobbins would have to be secured for a journey whichever style you
Thijs van der Wolf, of Bob-in Lace Supplies in Holland, sells vinyl
(waterproof) bags in three sizes. These bags can be used either way - to
sling over the shoulder, or to carry the pillow flat.
Thijs will send all over the world (I have ordered from here in Australia)
and accepts Visa cards.
Hi Sue,
To transport a pillow, all the bobbins etc have to

carried, nothing will move or break.
I have dealt with various cookie or flattish pillows,
not bolsters, so that's where my experience lies.
Here's some ideas that I, and my friends, use.
Hi,
If you don't mind I'd like to add one other suggestion to yours, Alice.
Besides all the great suggestions on securing the bobbins, which I have used
most of the ideas, all great. I also, sometimes do one added thing to
secure the threads down good. I have used a tongue depressor or a
I do something similar when I am leaving my pillow (I have cats who
think that playing with bobbins is GREAT FUN!!!) I got U pins. They
are commonly used for hanging jewelery chains on flat display boards.
They are shaped in a U with both open ends being sharp. I just place
them over the thread
I also have a device to keep the threads in control, a little tab of quilted
fabric that is pinned firmly over the threads above the bobbin heads. Has
saved a headache or two when unbundling the works.

Hi everyone
Inquiring minds would still like to know - do Spanish lacemakers carry the
upright bolsters in anything, ever?
How do they transport their pillows to a lace day for instance? I'm thinking
of the lace days where 5000 lacemakers are gathered, usually outdoors - of
course in the photos
HI all
Malvary's message reminded me of the nice holders we got as a favour at a
lace event. The lacemaker's DH made them, and drilled an extra hole, placed
in the middle of the wood 'plank' - thus, besides the holes at one end for
threading the elastic, there was a hole at each end and one in

My BIL just sent me an article from Discover Magazine which describes an
artist who uses machine embroidery to create doilies inspired by the
structures of viruses. I followed the link the magazine included:

Click on doilies.
I see these have been previously reviewed
Hi Julie
thanks for sharing this link.
I did visit it when your post first appeared.
Personally I'm queasy when it comes to looking at viruses (virii?) although
the doilies really are beautiful. If I could just disassociate from the
connection...
