Re: [lace] Starting a Scroll
Thanks for help received from fellow Arachneans. I decided to use the diagrams on pages 35-36 of Bridget Cook's "Practical Skills in BL" describing 'a wide scroll start'. I just had to mentally reverse the diagrams as my scroll was going in the opposite direction. Today I started & finished the first of the butterfly's wings. I'll post a photo when it is finished. Thanks again, Pene in Tartu, Estonia where we had a sudden snowstorm & the skies are clear again. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Starting a scroll
If you can have (or can borrow from your lace guild) the DVD or video "Brugge Bloemwerk with Patricia Bury" both starting and finishing scrolls are shown very clearly.

[lace] starting a scroll
Robin All the bobbin part laces that have scrolls as part of their stock of motifs work them in different ways. Not wildly different ways. Honiton, Duchess, Withof, Bruges Bloomwork -- all different. And too diffcult to explain in an email. The answer would be like writing a small book. What kind of edge stitch is used, how do you get around the curve of the scroll head, how many and where do you add extra pairs and remove them, how complex does the cloth weaving get, all those sorts of issues.

Pat Read has instructions in her first book on Milanese Lace (can't remember the exact title but some Arachnean can, I'm sure). Do different bobbin lace types use different methods of making scrolls?

RE: [lace] Starting a Scroll
Hi Pen, Try " Milanese Lace An Introduction" by Patricia Read and Lucy Kinkaid there is a very good section on starting and finishing scrolls in that on Page 20 I found this book indispensable when learning Milanese.

Pene There is a book by Rombach-de-Kievid BRUGS BLOEMWERK, 1984, Terra Zutphen pages 11-12, which also has the Bruges scroll. But it is in Dutch, which I can't read. I have to rely on the diagrams and the Sutton book is about the same. Are you getting holes at the pin, or in the middle of the scroll? Sometimes you need to add an extra pair near the scroll head, which you then cut off when you reach the long parallel stem of the scroll. And you may have to add a pair again when you approach the scroll end. Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Starting a Scroll
Sorry for not provide more detail. I wanted to make another Easter Egg from Annelies Kirst's 2nd book. It's one of the patterns with a butterfly labeled "Duchesse-Ei" on page 18. I've enlarged it a bit & I want to work it in coloured thread. She provides a diagram for the pivot turn on the bottom wings, & the order of how to work the wings. But I just don't like the holes at the beginning of the scrolls. I haven't worked a scroll before, so I'm looking for a better way to work them. I have Edna Sutton's "Bruges Flower Lace" which shows how to start & end a simple scroll.

[lace] Starting a Scroll
Please can anyone direct me to a book that shows how to start a scroll. I've found 2 methods in Bridget Cook's "Practical Skills" & another different way in Ulrike Löhr's "400 Tricks" & I'm going to dig up a Duchesse book. But I just wonder if someone's recently worked a scroll & can help to me. Thanks, Pene - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
