Hi,
Now and again there are good antique lace fans on eBay. Have the occasional
look. A while ago I was fortunate enough to bid for and win a lovely Duchesse
lace fan on mother-of-pearl sticks, but some go for silly prices. Some traders
frequently have fans including lace ones.
Prosperous New

Happy New Year to everyone.
Christine Springett's fan patterns come with a pattern for pleating the
completed lace fan leaf, and her great little book on making fans give the
instructions on how to do the pleating.

I've made three lace fans so far - just finished one which is just a torchon
edge strip with beads from La Encajera to get back into doing Torchon after
completing a couple of Milanese pieces.
I use Mighty Tacky Glue (might not be called exactly that, but it always has

I've done about a dozen fans, and when it comes to mounting, each time, I
find I have to refer to Christine Springett's book. I have 3 separate
pleating plans - large, medium and small - which I have drawn up according
to Christine's instructions - when I have completed the fan leaf I tack it
