Yes, the e-version is now available online. Unfortunately 5 pages don't
load fully. I've sent an e-mail to the Lace Guild asking if it can be
fixed. I'm assuming this is a problem at their end, not mine, but I'm not
really tech-savvy enough to know. Perhaps someone else who gets the
e-version could take a look at pp. 28-33 and tell me if the bottom of the
pages is missing for them too?

Hello Jeri,

I am a member of the Executive Committee of the Lace Guild. If anybody
wants to contact the Exec Committee then holl...@laceguild.org is the best
way to do it as your question might be best answered by one of our paid
staff, somebody on the Museum's Committee or a member of Exec.

I hope that when I have been promoting the Guild it has been helpful to the
person I replied to (for example when somebody was looking for second hand
books).

The reason I asked people to let me know when they got their copy of Lace
was because I didn't think Arachneans wanted to get loads of messages from
people says 'Yes mine arrived on ' and it is easier to just hit [Reply]
to my post than remember to send an email to holl...@laceguild.org.

My email address is the one I use most and therefore the one I look at most
often, I am not in the process of collecting addresses, I have enough
clutter in my life already ;-)

As one who has promoted The Lace Guild to members of Arachne quite often,  
may I ask:  Are you associated with "Lace"?  If so, it would be nice  if The 
Lace Guild provided an official e-mail address to you.   (Your return

HI Sue,

We are at the hands of the postal service  when it comes to our
magazines. I am not sure how it works out side of the US. Here magazines are
considered 3 class mail so it sits in a bin  there is room on the planes.
First class has priority. Once it gets to the destination it can go through
customs and they sit there until customs clears them. I have mailed magazines
to Brazil and it has taken 4 months to get there. I think I could of walked
there faster. To mail a magazine first class for overseas is at least 3 times
the cost of the subscription. I wish I could give you a good suggestion but I
have none.

it has taken two

that they are using the
cheapest postage rate they can, in an effort to
reduce costs.  It was my
understanding that there is now no sea mail between
NZ and UK, but there must
some really old airplanes on this route if it is
taking so long!!!  The thing
that alerted me to the fact that my mag had not

aware that subs were due and I usually paid mine
by the end of June. 
Hopefully they won't take us off the mailing list just
yet!!

Tracking a parcel going to a different country means you do the tracking on
that country's postal website. I have had to explain the same thing to
companies in the US when they say they won't ship to Canada, because they
can't track it once it hits the border. Duh, I can, because I track it on
the Canadian side, not the US sideWhen I ship something to the US that
is trackable, I have to track it on the USPS website once it hits the
border. Now that most mail services have websites, makes it a lot easier to
track stuff.

Hi Malvary and Arachnids,

You are very welcome to it as we are about to grow gills. It is raining yet 
again. We had drought conditions and a hosepipe ban (which was only lifted 
on 1st July in my area) earlier this year, so I am sure your turn will come.


However, the rain gives us a good reason to make lace instead of doing the 
garden ;-)   So there is some sunshine despite the rain.


Happy lace making,

abated somewhat, but it has been very difficult for the people who live in the 
areas where the fires are the worst  the firefighters have had a very 
difficult time.  The worst part is that not only is nature causing
The fires both here in Wyoming and Colorado, but people are causing them too!!  
In Fuernsey, Wyoming near the very famous Orwfon Trail site  Signature Rock 
were the pioneers craned their names  dates of passing through, the fire is 
supposed to have been started by humans!!
So, we are also praying England will share their rain - BUT no more lightening!!

I think, if you can see the postage date on the label, it would be useful to 
send the date to The Guild.  Mine appeared to have been mailed in the middle 
of June.  I'm sure that the Guild would be interested to learn the mailing 
date if you can read it.

I saw Sue Dane last Sunday (7th August) and she asked if I'd received the full

On Monday I phoned The Hollies, they confirmed that my subs were outstanding, a

That sounds like a delay between the mailing house sending out the magazines 
and the Royal Mail in the Poole area.  Mine arrived n Medway last week.

I know that my Kent Family History Society journal which is despatched from 
Kent usually arrives to UK members after the  overseas members gat theirs 
because the overseas ones go airmail (the reason for the higher fees ) but the 
UK ones go by bulk mailing which is really third class.

Re: [lace] Lace magazine - cover has inspired me to Honiton

Viv,

I can hardly wait for my issue of Lace to arrive after hearing your 
impression of the cover.
I believe you could very well try Honiton with the equipment you describe 
and get a good feel for it.  Un-spangled Midlands bobbins (especially if one 
of the smaller types) are not that different than Honiton bobbins.  And a 
domed 16 pillow would work also, especially if you choose to enlarge the 
pricking at all.
I really believe it is how one exquisites the the stitches and not the 
equipment that makes the lace.

 Hi everyone.

 that it took the lacer (Barbara Churchward) ten years to complete I
 engaged brain and thought that my initial adrenaline inspired idea to
 embark on this as my first ever piece of Honiton lace was so way out as

 Does anyone on the list know any more about this mat? Does it look even

 I'd like your ideas on the question Do I need the right equipment? I

 I've got le UK Lace Guild's basic technical instruction book for
 Honiton, which has enough details to tell me how.
 Would a 16in domed straw pillow be ok to start with? (or a flat
 polystyrene one)
 Would unspangled light weight midlands bobbins work, or would they be so
 frustrating as to put me off before I got going?
 When I did my first attempts at Milanese braids I enlarged the prickings
 and used a thicker thread. What would the pitfalls of doing this as a

 Lorri F
 Graham, in the foot hills of MT. Rainier

My first foray into honiton was with a free lace piece which really was 
honiton in disguise.  

I really wanted to start it with all the right equipment (sorry that's just 
the obsessive in me!) but as I got the pattern about 3 days before Xmas there 
was no way that I was going to get a pillow and bobbins in time for the holiday 
period.

I started it off with my favourite east midlands bobbins (spangled) on a high 
domed 18 polystrene pillow from SMP but as soon as I had to start sewings I 
realised that these are not that easy with spangles when you have to do them 
all the time so I swapped them onto my bruges bobbins which worked fine.

The celtic dragon that I made is not the greatest thing I've ever done, but 
then I'd only been making lace for about 6 months and the other pieces of lace, 
such my torchon were about the same level.  

Anyway, I was hooked and started buying every book I could find on honiton 
and reading it to get a feel for the lace.

Then being totally obsessive I had to go and buy the equipment, but then 
that's just me.  What I did discover is that I am allergic to straw pillows - I 
found this out when teaching.  Everytime one of my students came along I would 
get a runny nose and sore eyes - I realised that I was allergic to her pillow!  
So it's polystrene or nothing for me.  Also I found that the weight of the 
pillow, when I wanted to sit with the pillow on my lap was better with this type 
of pillow - I don't often make lace at a table, except when at lace days - I 
make lace in bed (but watch out for those dropped pins).

I was given one piece of advice - get a cushion cover - just an ordinary one 
about 16 or 18 square and fill it with polystrene beads like you get in a 
bean bag.  Not too full.  Then put that on your lap and wedge the honiton pillow 
into the cushion cover - it then sits beautifully in the nest!!

As to bobbins, the one thing that I found is that I prefer bobbins of a 
similar size for honiton as they move easy for me but that is just personal 
preference.

Anyway, just my thoughts 

Regards

Re: [lace] Lace magazine - cover has inspired me to Honiton

2004-05-09 Thread Adele Shaak
Hi Viv:

I haven't seen the Lace Guild magazine yet, but as to your other 
questions:

I'd like your ideas on the question Do I need the right equipment? I
know that if I take to this particular style of lace I would, but until
I know I wouldn't want to buy another pillow and a set of new bobbins.
Traditional Honiton uses very fine threads, and involves many sewings. 
You therefore need very lightweight bobbins that are smooth so they 
don't snag  break the threads when you do the sewings. They do not 
have to be traditional Honiton bobbins. I have made fine Honiton 
successfully with Binche bobbins and some very lightweight Swiss 
bobbins I happen to have, as well as unspangled Midlands bobbins, 
though if they're unfinished you'll have to be careful not to snag them.

As for pillows: I learned on a straw-filled pillow, and they're nice if 
you can easily get one cheap. I still have my first, all-too-ambitious 
Honiton project sitting on that straw-filled pillow (it's been 23 
years, now), so I use my standard cookie pillows for my newer (and less 
ambitious) projects.

When I did my first attempts at Milanese braids I enlarged the 
prickings
and used a thicker thread. What would the pitfalls of doing this as a
complete Honiton beginner?
Because Honiton uses such fine threads, it uses techniques that can be 
unsightly with thicker threads. For example, you may be directed to 
finish off 6 pairs of threads by bunching them together, tying threads 
around the bundle several times, and cutting off. That's pretty well 
invisible if you're using 170/2 thread - if you're using Pearl Cotton 
#8 it makes a really big bump! Probably you'd use some thread in 
between these two extremes, but I'd say that you may well do better to 
use a 100/2 or 80/2 for your first attempts, so you get something nice 
without having much of a problem with your thread breaking.

Hope this helps.

 Dear Viv --  Honiton isn't so terrifying as your e-letter might suggest! The
 16 domed pillow would be fine; so would the polystyrene cookie. You could
 certainly use the unspangled midlands bobbins; you could equally well use
 delicate and pretty little wooden Binche bobbins, if that's what you had.
 However, I would not  ‹‹  really, not!  ‹‹  do the enlarged pricking and the
 thicker thread. I think you would lose the sense of Honiton, the fine light
 hand, the delicate turns. (That's only my opinion) The most thing I would
 suggest is that you get a copy of Susanne Thompson's first book, Introduction
 to Honiton Lace. Sue will take you by the hand very gently, lead you past
 pillow and bobbin issues, and before you know it, you will be making Honiton
 lace! When you realize that that's, in fact, what you are doing, you will be
 so thrilled that you will rush right out and get Perryman and Voysey's New
 Designs in Honiton Lace. That book is pure heaven.
 
 I have survived beginnerhood in Honiton: my first teacher was Elsie Luxton,
 then Cynthia Voysey for years; and then (two or three years ago) a workshop
 with Pat Perryman. So I say, Don't hesitate!  Good luck!  Aurelia Loveman

Is anyone familiar with this magazine published in the US?
I found a link to it while doing some research on Jesurum lace on the web
and was considering ordering some back issues. There is a special offer for
back issues at the moment.

One 1996 issue has an article on Jesurum lace in France and Italy which is
exactly what I'm looking for. I'm researching a set of Jesurum coloured
bobbin lace which still has the label attached identifying it as Jesurum,
made in France. The lace belongs to our Embroiderers' Guild and I'm writing
an article on it for the magazine. The lace is quite stunning and
technically amazing.
