Dear Arachnids Cutwork, Reticella or punto in aria
I have always understood that 1) if the basis of the work is threads from a woven fabric, no matter how few, it is cutwork. 2) If the basis of the work is plaits used to make a square or rectangular grid over which the stitches are laid it is reticella. 3) If the basis of the work is an outlining thread following a freestyle design it is punto in aria. I will be interested to read how and why other lacemakers have other ideas. Happy lacing Alex - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
