Dear Tamara and all starching-interesting lacefriends,
Sorry but don't use this products:
(flour, sugar, etc) media,
for starching. Otherwise it could be that your lace is interesting for
insect and they lay perhaps their eggs into it. And when the new
generation comes out your lace has a new

Soon after I started bobbin lace I saw, in Nyplattya Pitsia (double dots on
the 'a's) by Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti, a diagram of the lace pillow and the
sheet by which bobbins can be moved. The 10 or so pairs of a beginner
don't require much 'moving' so I just mentally filed it away as a curiosity.
Over the years I have noted that lacemakers are often people who are
involved in other crafts which makes sense to me. Some are involved in cake
decorating which is similar in the sense that you can make something very
pretty
using tools (lots of tools) and techniques that require skill.
I've just added a scan of my hackle pliers on the webpage of arachne lace:

So, I am just about catching up.

Hi Jay !
What you're describing (the picture, that is...) is probably one of the lovely
Christina pillows. The center of this pillow is stationary, and the apron
rotates around it. Because they are quite expensive, I have also thought of
ways to make my own. So I'm quite interested in how

Hi Alice
I notice when making leaves that that is when any of my threads will
misbehave, more than with other elements. I should think it *is* the

altering your technique, or simply switching bobbins from time to time. Or

Quite expensive is rather an understatement.the basic Christina pillow
would cost about $1,000 Australian (about $760 American dollars or 400
English pounds). The circular insertion for use instead of the roller
is extra.
