LOL - this is what put me off trying the methods in 'Het Lassen' - which I invested in because I didn't like the joins I was making with tying knots or doing sewings (butting beginning to end). I couldn't imagine making more repeats than necessary -- time passes, that was then, this is now, and I quite enjoy the chance to make more repeats than a complete perimeter, and don't even mind that some of the extra will be cut away. I think of the 'extras' as a means to the end (quite literally). > True, the actual overlap used is just a couple rows, but the end result will be not as neat if there is little choice of sewing pathway. You are giving yourself the advantage, therefore, by making 'extra.' Of course I have yet to test the method myself (a Flanders hanky edging lies in wait, just for the purpose) but I believe it! -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
