Dear Spiders
I remember a note by L.A. Viddeleer in her book about "lassen" (joining
lace) that circular laces should stay on the pillow/pricking until the
joining took actually place. If the lace had been lying around for a
while, it would not lie flat anymore and would be impossible to join and

My mistake - it wasn't sewn to fabric. It was placed flat and the angle
measured - so ignore the bit about sewing to fabric.
Yes, the wider the lace, the more correction will be requi

I'm pretty sure that they're inactive now. I know some more details on
other point ground laces arrived after the book was published, but I
think that they've decided to rest

Me too, since I've never heard of either method (widening or narrowing
the angle) of coping with a problem I hadn't even noticed :)

Joyce suggested as differences between Bucks and Tønder:
"in Bucks a picot is made in the "valley" at the headside, but in Tønder, at
the valley pin the workers are brought through the headside passives, twisted
twice around the pin, and then taken back through the headside passives and

Now this new thread (the "true" angle at corners...) is fascinating to
me. Not long ago, I worked a handkerchief, and was aware from the
beginning that the angle at the corner was *less* than 90 degrees. This
made me curious, but I continued to work the pattern. The lace was,
BTW, about 1.5"
Synchronicity!
With my back issues of OIDFA bulletins out - I chanced on the article in
Bulletin 1 - 2003 by Leena Haukanheimo, "corners in point ground lace" - but
specifically Rauma. she wonders if other (point ground) laces used a wider
angle at the corner, too.
It all started with a person who
I thought of another difference between Bucks and Tønder.
In Bucks as you work from the lace into the headside, after you cross the
gimp, you twist the workers (twice?) before working through the headside
passives. Likewise, after you've made the picot, you work back through the
passives and twist
There's two or three books of Rauma lace available --
straight edgings with corners added for hankies. Mine
are hiding in the bookshelf right now and I couldn't
find them so I'm writing from memory.
Rauma is the only lace that figured out that the
headside of the lace stretches more than the fo

Margot do you know of the status of the study group itself? I've loaned my
copy of the recent bulletin with reports from Congress. Had thought to see
if there was a report from the PG study group.

I asked for, and received, this book for Christmas a couple of years ago
because I love all point ground laces. My family was amazed that I was so
happy with it because they were very disappointed when they looked at it! It's
definitely a study book, not a coffee table book!

Hi all -
There is a wonderful study book on the point ground laces published by OIDFA
"Point Ground Lace - A Comparative Study" - ISBN 0 95406960 9
The book is in chart form listing *23 distinct point ground laces* in 13
regional groupings, including Tønder pre- and post-1900, and Vanha Rauma,

Bucks and Tønder both belong to the category of point ground laces. There
are many similarities. Tønder is worked with a finer thread, anything from
Egyptian Cotton 120/2 to 170/2 depending on the pricking. The gimp is
relatively heavy, such as linen 35/2 or 35/3. Gunvor encouraged use of linen

I was pleased to see this because it was my question too.

I would also put in my suggestion for this book. I stumbled upon it in a
consignment shop and really love to pore over the color plates. A group of us
also participate in living history and it gives good information about the lace
that was in use during specific periods of time.
