you add new ones. I will love to read it all.

Weronika, Tamara and other Spiders,
The earlier discussion on the hands-up hands-down subject must have been
before I joined Arachne. I switched to what appears for me to something
between hands up/down what worked well for me. I show on my site how I use a
cookie-pillow and overcame the problem
Weronika,
So, my contention is that Bobowa may be known, but against its
collective will :)
Hmm. I can see that. The lacemakers are definitely there, there's even
a school as far as I know, but I'm pretty sure they don't use
computers...
Don't be too sure:

Hello everyone!
Tamara mentioned that Doris teaches the open (TCTC) method whereas most
other introductory lacemaking books teach the closed (CTCT) method. I
must first say that Doris is a member of our local lace guild and so we have
a special place for her in our heart. It's not surprising
When I have time to add more pages I will keep up the old ones too. I

Weronika,
I haven't looked at Southard for years, but I'm guessing she means that

I work palms down with spangled bobbins because I actually pick the bobbins
up by the spangles. Not a recognised way of doing it, I know, but having RA,
I can work longer that way than if I handle the actual bobbins. There are no
'lace police' around, and, even if there were, I'd still continue to

Of course not. If you want beads in your lace put them there.

An interim orthodontic repair! Do you mean that you need to tie some
dentures together
As someone who has tried superglue as a material for denture repair, it's
not to be recommended - the repair keeps breaking down as, apparently,
superglue is water-soluble!
