[lace] the new website's registration requirement

2006-02-20 Thread Jean Nathan
It's not the registration I object to - it's the fact that the registration isn't secure. There's no padlock symbol on the bottom bar of the registration page and it doesn't say it's secure, just that the information won't be used if you don't want it to be.. That's why I registered with

[lace] redrafting pricking

2006-02-20 Thread Jenny Barron
I am having another go at a bucks (my bete noir) garter. (Torchon is my favourite lace - I think because of its orderliness) So I've found a pretty garter in an old magazine and am at the stage of photocopying the pattern to prick out. The thing is the pricking looks out of sync to me. Are

The most important line to correct is the footside (and maybe the catch pin row); draw a straight line along and prick your hole next to the dots but on the line. If you do the same to the head side curves, it might be all you need to do. As someone else said, the Bucks ground is supported by

Yes, Bev is right. You can scan in the pattern to Lace 200, but you still have to manually re-true it, the computer won't match the dots to the grid for you Sue And Bev adds - yes, in Easy Lace you can do that too - but Easy Lace, and, as far as I know, Lace 2000 doesn't take the scan and

I must have missed the original post about insertion lace, but my understanding is that insertion lace is a lace which has a footside on each side, and is intended to be attached to fabric on either side. This is also known as entre-deux. Hope this helps. Clay Clay Blackwell [EMAIL
