Dear Arachnes, Can you help me with a name / supplier of a "thingummy" to help anchor threads when starting a piece with a trail working away in both directions. I have seen some somewhere - a piece of wood (flat underneath) that you can pin over the threads in order and trap the bobbins on one side while working the other. I've tried the 'wrap around a pin' anchor as in a Flanders single bobbin start but am not having much luck keeping the threads lying flat across the trail. I need four pairs of passvies for the trail plus the plait pairs for the edging to start the top of the curve.
Any other suggestions on how to tame them gratefully received Louise In soggy Cambridge, we seem to have hit the "June Monsoon" now the students have finished their exams - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
