Hi ladies (and any lurking fellas)
We had an interesting discussion on our last lace night - although the night was dedicated to watching Christine Springett's Into to Bedfordshire DVD and having a go at plaits we got on the discussion of tensioning in torchon (what we all make) and it was mentioned that 2 of us tension at a pin and a third tensions as she goes (on the fly). The remaining 2 very wisely gave no opionion :-) As most of our new lace makers are being taught by someone from either the pin or the fly group - are we teaching bad habits that should be corrected NOW before too many new lacemakers all tension 'the wrong way'. My question to the group is - when do you tension ? Is it relevent to the end work? Is it relevent if later the lace makers wants to try bucks or milanese - and therefore good practice overall?
