I have been saving all the discussions about overlap finishes. But someone (Alice?) said that it doesn't work well with point ground laces because the ground is too fine.
Here's my situation. I have made lots of an edging from Bertha Kemp's book of Downton Lace. The pattern is Duke's Garter. A friend is getting married and I would like to lop off some of this edging to put on a hanky for her. In Shelley Canning's book 32 Downton Lace Patterns, she says that Downton lace was traditionally joined with a seam and then oversewn. That sounds much more visible (for lack of a better word) than the overlap method that has been described on the list lately. Can anyone think of a reason that I can't do the overlap method with this piece of lace? If not, what other bright ideas does everyone have?
