Hi All, Mirecourt lace carries a gimp prominently on one side. I took a course at the IOLI convention in Rockford, IL with Deborah Beever on Art Nouveau tile laces using some Mirecourt gimp techniques. We caught the gimp with the weavers going one way and skipped it going back. I used this same technique recently when making dragonfly wings for a piece of lace being put on a corset I made for the Needlework Festival in Toronto.
