Dear Sue,
As a very keen Bucks Point lace maker I was looking at some lace sites
to study various types of lace and have been completely perplexed as to
the difference between Bucks Point and Tonder, to me they look identical
can anyone point me in the right direction as to the differences if any?
There are a number of differences technically that I know of, the
main one being the large open holes in Toender known as Copenhagen holes.
Others include:
- Toender is worked clockwise; Bucks anti-clockwise (makes no
difference in the end)
- Toender filled in areas are usually whole stitch rather than the
half stitch favoured by some Bucks and most Chantilly.
- In Toender there are NO twists when a pair of bobbins enter a
filled in area, thus making the gimp sit hard up against the filled
part (love that part)
there are no doubt more, but that's just what I've picked up from
working both kinds of lace.
