Janice asked: " how do you add it to your lace?" Couronnes (rings) are stitched to the completed lace using just a stab stitch. You can leave a long end, when you finish making the couronne, and have joined upo the last stitch, and then use that long end to stab stitch it in place.
I like small holes in the centre of my couronnes, so, instead of using the ring stick, I use the eye end of a tapestry needle - about a # 24, - and start the couronne on that. After the first 2 or 3 stitches, I take it off, and hold it in my fingers - a bit fiddley, but it gets the knots of the stitches on the edge. If you make the whole thing on a ring stick, you may find the knots all sit to one side. I don't know why, but they do! I use the eye end, as then I can get my fine sewing needle into the wrapped stitches more easily. The trace method is the easiest, I think. from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
