Can someone give me some more information on this course please ?
Thanks,

But the schedule of classes -- especially the Loehr's beginner Mechlin

Ok, here are my reasons -
1) pricking as you go damages your pillow as you have to use more force
to go through the card and my cork board is cheaper and more replaceable
than my pillows
2) When you work unusual patterns such as ovals on a block pillow, if
you don't have all the pattern how
Actually, thinking about this again, what I do is have spurts of
pricking things and so will spend a weekend pricking out quite a few
patterns so that they are done and dusted for when I just want to start
some lace.
I also used a time at a lace group to wind over 200 bobbins over 2 hour
Just loved your story, Liz.
One of my best is when we were demonstrating lacemaking at an exhibition, one
lady hovered for ages, then asked if lace bobbins were sold in John Lewis (a
well known English department store). We said it was possible, but not
likely, and offered her lace supply and

Hi,
We visited Bowes Museum last March, and I went to the web site because I
must say the lace, as a collection, certainly didn't jump out at us.
Obviously would have helped to know what is available before the visit!
Anyway, on the web site is the description of (among hundred of items with
I also went to the web-site and searched lace in collections and got 69
hits. If in fact everything is on the website (not the case at the Met.) it is
not a very impressive collection. My own personal collection is better and I am
not a collector who spends that much money on it. I am not sure
Just noteI seem to have more of a problem with bobbins staying in
placeso I got out a helper that I used to use for bobbins rollingtwo
flat, oblong erasers. They stay where put, as stopper, and easier than pins
etc. So far, so good, but slow..I have to train my letfy to think
OK Vivienne, as you were so adamant that you didn't want advice without us trying it
out first, I got out a
pillow and a sample of Binche lace - in fine thread. And found that it is possible to
make a one handed sewing

Dear Magda -- I think what Tamara was referring to is a three-day workshop
on beginning Mechlin, to be given by Ulrike Loehr on July 31, and August
1st and 2nd. This is a sponsored workshop of the Chesapeake Region Lace
Guild, and the cost is $100. As non-members have to pay an additional $8 to
Hi Bev, et al --
My third hand for sewing hook/pin lifter, etc. is a magnet pinned to my
pillow. It's a party favor from the IOLI convention in Dallas, and is a
round magnet with what I assume is a crochet cover -- a pin goes right into
the middle and it's easily moved around the pillow as
And my lace content: I'm struggling to finish pricking a wide floral Bucks
handkerchief edging - I'm coming down the fourth side now. It'll be a
relief
to start working it, after all this pricking!

Look, if you don't like pricking then photocopy, stick and film
That's what I pre-prick -- a film-covered sandwich, with the
photocopied pattern as the middle layer... At the beginning (in '89) I
did try to prick through a pattern and then put in all
