Hello Gentle Spiders, In 7 years of lace making very few of my piece has had to be mounted onto fabric, my bedfordshire hanky which I made and hand mounted in about 2004 and recently some napkins with just a strip of lace on one edge. I am now at a critical point in our 40th Wedding anniversary napkins which lots of you gave me ideas for many months ago. The fabric is ready and pressed and the lace made (just two more to darn the ends in) and then I am set to add lace to fabric. This particular set is a 4 sided strip design to go along the inside edge all the way around the fabric, the lace is approximately one and a quarter inches to lay on top of the fabric close to the edge but headside facing in, not attached to the edge and laying off the fabric, if you understand what I mean. Because of the colour it is not photographing well, but that doesn't matter would only be helpful to explain my point.
My question is, how do I make sure the tension of the lace on the fabric is right so that when attached neither the fabric or the lace will look bunched in the future. Both fabric and lace are cotton. Sue T Dorset UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
