Bev, you mentioned learning a Flanders Ground. I do have Mary Nivens book on Flanders. Which ground should I try, the modern five hole ground or the old five-hole ground? Page 25 shows 7 variations of the ground. Which one is similar to that used in Binche?
Hi Janice and everyone As far as I know, none are used in Binche very much - making a Flanders ground will give you an idea of how to handle many bobbins to do a ground though (as compared to Torchon grounds where there aren't as many). What you can do to prepare for Binche is turn to the chapter on snowflake grounds - which she here calls 'fillings' - and do those samples. See the historical flow chart on page 9 "Binche (snowflake grounds)" hope this helps ;) -- Bev in Sooke BC (on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
