Hi David Re - I'm currently working on a narrow point ground edging where the actual point ground is only 7 pins diagonally. I've always
I have tried many ways of speeding up making ground. I cannot make it without pins, it does not look right. When using cotton thread I can only make three stitches along a row before pinning, if I make more before pinning the extra tension spoils the shape of the mesh; it becomes hexagonal rather than the preferred oval hole. As with many techniques this is dependent on individual tension and way of holding the bobbins, so it finally comes down to experimenting and finding what works for each of us individually.
