Hi Joepie I have tried pinning the ground using size 00 (0.3mm) pins and working the ice ground cloth & twist, pin, cloth twist twice with a lot of success. I have also found that this ground, unlike point ground, likes a flat pillow and small bobbins. The main problem is that it does not give the wriggle room that an unpinned ground has. I am now trying not pinning the plait adjacent to the motif. It is so interesting.

It made me smile. I also had a quick peek at some of the bits on the rest of the blog. Re- tension on unpinned grounds: Have you tried an absolutely flat pillow? Happy lace making & a Very Happy Easter. Joepie From: Alex Stillwell Sent: 14 April 2017 09:49 Hi Arachnids Someone has just sent me a picture that I must share with you.
