As far as I know, the laces that we are used to make here in Spain as Torchon, Guipure lace (some times mixed up), Floral torchon, Blonda, Ret-fi, Witch Stitch, do not carry threads from one motif to another as it is made in Duchesse or Milanese.(The last book written by Pat Read, uses rolled edges to give a 3D effect).may we hear from France? And Germany? Spain? Denmark?
If some pairs have to be added when working Blonda, they are thrown out progressively as needed when ending the motif worked with clothstitch. There is used a gimp pair to outline motifs.
