I need to modify my description of using a change stitch to trade passive and
worker threads. Doing CTTC will change both sets of threads. I like to
change only one at a time when preventing passive threads from being able to
ruffle.. When doing CTC, add a second twist to only the left OR right set of
threads, not both. With careful tensioning, this single extra twist will
disappear.
If the worker thread is much longer than the passive thread, they can be
traded back to their original places in a row or two.Â
Preventing extreme ruffling by trading out threads will not guarantee a
perfectly straight edging. A simple woven edge will need less space than
many decorative headside patterns, which will result in a slightly curved
edging when off the pins. I don't know how to prevent this.

Hello All! While working my Springett edging, I inadvertently "gathered"
the footside while tensioning the passives. Is there a clever way to avoid
this? Or is this an inherent risk when using a roller after the first part
of the lace has been completed? Even after smoothing the lace, my edging was
no longer flat. Using the roller is easier (for me) than moving up the lace,
but I obviously have not developed a gentle hand when tensioning! Any
suggestions? I did not find this topic specifically addressed in the
archives. Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL USA
