We managed to buy some pin lifter bits from SMP lace in UK.
For the bent needle and crochet hook: my husband warms up the metal
parts in hot water and then bends them,
Thank you, Alice, for that in depth explanation.
I have printed it out and given it to my husband, who is the bobbin and
tool maker.

Happy holidays to all!
I finished making my second ornament ever and want to make more. I have
some questions:
- How do you calculate how much thread to wind on the bobbins per pattern,
so you don't waste much?
- How do you prepare starch and apply it the old-fashioned way?
- Is there a way to
I've had a look and I am now intrigued. I don't think I've ever seen one

We had our Christmas early, and my daughter gave me a book she found
in a second hand shop. It is a 1974 reprint of a bobbin lace book,
all in French. In the back of the book are cards with prickings,
complete and not ever used.

Hi Debora,
Welcome to the world of lacemaking!! To every
question, there's usually several answers since there
is a variety of types of laces and kinds of thread. So
here's one opinion.
How much thread to put on the bobbin is an age-old
question. Most patterns, once you are past the very

Hi Debora, and welcome!
Alice has given you excellent advice. Many fine lacemakers handle knots
exactly as Alice has described.
I'm a little anal (OK, I'm a lot anal!), so if I can avoid it, I don't leave
knots in my lace. I'll try to describe one technique for doing this,

I think it is a citrus peeler and section separator. Clive's German auntie
who lived in W. London, had a similar one. She used the hook to score the
peel from top to base, then used the other side to remove the peel and
section the orange.

Now you say that, I remember having used a similar hook for the same
purpose.

Greetings,
I have a copy of the 1974 reprint of Les Dentelles aux
Fuseaux. It's not the Paulis book. It was originally
written by Theresa de Dillmont who lived from 1846 to
1890. It was published by the DMC company, and
probably reprinted more than once. The notes I've
written in my book say
It's best to do this with a passive, rather than a worker, and it works
best
in a cloth stitch area. Usually, though, it's the workers that run out of
thread! If this happens, you can exchange the worker and a passive by
putting in an extra twist when they meet. Do this a row or two before you
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Catch you again in 2007.
