Hello Noelene The best thing to avoid the thread being snagged with the pins is to work leaves first and footside afterwards, leaving as much free space as possible to make the leave. You can also make the leave sideways if there isn't enough room to make it vertically. The result is the same. And finally, if you still have problems, put a piece of cloth over the already worked lace so that the pins are covered and don't interfere with your leave. Hope this helps, Greetings from a Antje, who is trying to learn to make leaves following the "flat on the pillow" technique. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED]
