Dear Achim,
- How many twists when entering a motif containing cloth stitch? I do one
twist, but I think I read there could be none at all (P. Nottingham?), so
that there's no gap between gimp and cloth stitch filling. So, coming with
the worker through the headside passive pairs, I twist twice, go through the
gimp ("lift left"), do one more twist and start cloth stitch. Right or wrong
or simply depending on taste?
I used to do what you are doing, but found from making Chantilly
lace, that the motif looked "better" to my eye, if I did NO twists
inside the gimp. That way the filling - whether it be whole or half
stitch - comes right up to the gimp.
And maybe I'm just too perfecionistic about my lace - I really want to do it
right! (Who said "anal"? - I heard that!).
You can't be :)
