With lace design patterns like Lace R-XP (the only one I've got any real
experience with), you can convert a straight design into a fan pattern just
by changing the grid from say 45 degrees (torchon) to polar and positioning
the design towards the outer or inner edges depending on the size of
Karen, the Spanish magazine La Encajera (which came with English language
insert) had a series of fan patterns at one stage, still available as back
issues.

that mistake with
Thank you Robin, yes I can see what you mean and of course I hadn't thought
of that. I have seen that kind of leaf effect in one of my books, not sure
which one for sure. I am not sure if my design program has a polar grid on
it or not but I have not yet had time or need to try it. I picked
My daughter bought me the Anne Collier one way back, but no one pattern
jumps out at me yet. Mind you I keep looking and often they grow on me but
I like to change some elements. I think everyone has things that really
appeal to their senses more than another design, am I right?

Thank you Margot Clay I found both of those very interesting. Lots of
useful and interesting information for me. I wondered if you meant the ones

Insect pins are very, very thin, with tiny heads. They're useful

Hello Sue (et al.)
Now are you referring to the piece of lace at the top to distribute the
dangling mobile pieces? This piece is the square magic Chain pattern from
Springetts (?) Xmas book. However the attachment method from this piece as a
hanging mechanism were some PIPE CLEANERS but I'm
Hello All,
I have resubscribed to this list after a long absence and I have enjoyed the
discussions very much. I have recently been able to get my lace supplies out
of mothballs and begin to relearn and I have run into a discrepancy. I want
to try a Torchon fan pattern in Louise Colgan's book
I don't worry about it - as long as I have a twist before the gimp
and a twist after it to hold the gimp in place. Although, sometimes
for effect, you might want to have the gimp right next to whatever
it's outlining. In that case, I eliminate the twist between the gimp

Forgive me if I include the full thread of this discussion, so far, but
I think it is necessary.
Bev has very wisely advised that a) whatever you do is consistent, and
b) adhere to the basic rules of the lace you are working.

Dear Arachnes,
The announcement below this letter prompted me to take a look at the auction
offerings (in U.K.).
Lots 1029 and 1067 had bits of laces, maybe of questionable quality.
Lots 1159 and 1160 are large amounts of spangled bone bobbins. There is a

I think this is when I'd break out the bicycle. You're paying through the
