Hi Nancy, I mean with a method in bobbin lacemaking a way in which every technique can be made. The open method means that every stitch ends with cross, so that all threads are always laying straight down without any twists (open) The closed method means that half stitch and whole stitch (with twist) end with a twist, The threads lay after those stitches with a twist (closed) Bobbin lace knows also various types or techniques like Torchon, Point Ground, Guipure, Tape Lace and so on. It doesnât matter wether you make Torchon, Point Ground, Guipure or Tape lace in the open or closed method. The result is the same. Afterward you can not see the difference. Mixing the techniques is possible but the result is different. As Robin said making a Point Ground pricking in the Torchon technique gives a different result than when you make in the Point Ground technique. It doesnât look like Point Ground any more, nor does it look like Torchon.
I hope this will help. Gon Homburg, Amsterdam, The Netherlands > Op 26 nov. 2020, om 11:38 heeft N.A.
