One way to practice Het Lassen is to use machine laces .. anything you have on hand. Cut it apart, then overlap to match the pattern and overcast across two rows, then trim ends. If you can find a machine lace piece that is vaguely similar to the style of your own lace, even better. A bit of practice will make the job less scary when you do it on your own lace.

How nice to know that it is a perfectly acceptable way to clean up bad start. I feel rather like a child who played hooky from school, only to discover that it was a holiday anyway! I love that my plan, which felt vaguely like cheating, turned out to be a legitimate fix with its own lacemaking term and everything! - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
