[lace] Hitches
Hi everyone All the talk about hitches on bobbins reminded me of when I was teaching my daughter and some of her friends to make lace some years ago. I discovered that one of the girls always wound her bobbins in the opposite way to me and the others (winding towards herself, rather than away). She always did this so when I showed her how to do hitches I had to teach myself how to do them the other way round so that I could teach her. I never had a teacher myself and learned with a Dryad lacemaking kit which showed you how to put hitches on the top of the bobbin rather than on the thread. I found that they were always slipping and started to put them on the thread. I have found that this usually works unless the thread is quite thick.

Re: [lace] Hitches
Dear Alison, I still haven't got round to analyzing my hitch yet. However, I do know from various students I've had, that if you'[ve wound your bobbins the wrong way, the hitch will not hold at all. Now, I'm only assuming that I wind my bobbins the same way as everyone else, but to check, if I point the head of the bobbin towards me then the thread goes round clockwise. I'll try and get onto my hitch tomorrow David in Ballarat All the talk about hitches on bobbins reminded me of when I was teaching my daughter and some of her friends to make lace some years ago.

Re: [lace] Hitches
Speaking as a lefty, if you wind your bobbins the wrong way, you need to be sure to also do your hitches the wrong way. Then all works just as well as if you had done everything the right way.

Re: [lace-chat] cookware for daughter
--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was wondering what others on the list have found to be good quality cookware at a medium price available now. I have, and like, Farberware. I got my first pots and pans in a set over 40 years ago, and am still using them. I managed to burn up one kettle and missed it enough to go shopping for a replacement, thus I have one of the newer style pot and lid. The styles have changed a bit over the years and there's several styles to choose from, but the basic construction is the same. While I like a nonstick skillet for some things, my main pots are stainless steel. The Farberware has an alumimum (or copper) core for quick heating, and the stainless body for easy cleaning. There's probably more than one brand of stainless pots with a core of a quick heat metal. Check them out. I suggest this basic multipurpose type of pot rather than the all aluminum ones (too heavy). Revere Ware is pretty but takes more cleaning to keep the copper bottom clean. I think it has the same basic construction of Farberware, but has the copper bottom exposed. The basic sets with 3 pots and 2 pans, plus lids, is not too many pieces of cookware to have. You may want to add a larger pot also. Explore a kitchen store, or a large department store that carries a range of brands. You should find something that suits your requirements.

Re: [lace-chat] How to replace corningware dishes

Check with the corningware webpage to get the style name, then search eBay for it. I replaced an older style of dishes for my church through eBay when a bunch of plates were broken.
