Hi All, I did Australian Lace Guild Proficiency Certificate 1 in 1992 - the reason for not getting to Prof 2 is mounting!
The only things I have mounted successfully are Altar Frontals, and because of the weight and the possibility of washing a couple of times a year, I used a one-two-three zigzag machine stitch. The folded hem covers the stitching when in place on the Altar. My son and daughter in law's Wedding present last year (crochet corners and square in the middle) small tablecloth was also done by machine - and I hope no one with any knowledge gets to see that effort. The thread used was Mercer Crochet No 20 and the fabric is Dublin Linen which I paid A$80 for about 15 years ago. The Christmas/New Year season, when all extraneous meetings, etc, are not happening may give me the time to try three or four sided stitch to mount the two hanky edgings which are finished. They were both worked in DMC 30 from patterns I acquired at Pat Milne workshops.
