Janice asked: " how do you add it to your lace?"
Couronnes (rings) are stitched to the completed lace using just a stab
stitch. You can leave a long end, when you finish making the couronne, and
have joined upo the last stitch, and then use that long end to stab stitch
it in place.

The question is how does shellac effect the textile over a
period of time? Each basket is preserved (to some degree) by a

Hello Dianna and everyone
I have done basketry but have never used shellac on the finished baskets.
Personally I think it is better not to put anything on at all unless it
is a natural product to preserve the fibre (e.g. lemon oil on kelp
strands), unless you do want the tatting to be v. stiff - i
If I make up a particular "grid" to fit the shape that I want to get in
the finished piece, does it still count as a grid? You do need some
arrangement of dots to put pins in even in the free laces, right?

I was watching America Sews yesterday. They had a lady from Joann's and she
made the statement that laces are not made by hand anymore. How ridiculous

Thanks to all who provided information about the Danish wedding - does anyone
know about the veil at the Spanish wedding yesterday, and those wonderful

Dear Sue,
But what do US people call the undergarment (worn under shirts & blouses, in
colder weather), which the English call a 'vest'?

I have that book and I think it's superb. It's a readable and well illustrated, with
more detailed information than most of the current Irish crochet books on the market
