Yes, I agree with Tamara about not using two sizes of pins, and also about leaning the pins well outward. (To tell the truth, I did not know that there was a problem with making picots! I learned picot-making from -- of all people -- Doreen Wright, and I would certainly have been too scared to fail!) I do make them, as Tamara says, with five twists before and two afterward. There is just this one other thing, which Doreen stressed mightily: after placing the pin, you must be sure to pull both threads down TOGETHER at once; then do the 2 final twists. I have made, I guess, thousands of picots this way, and just breezed through them. Goes to show: ignorance is bliss. -- Aurelia
