Dear Jeri
Thank you so much for your information on the use of an aficot and the
reasoning behind laying threads. I had heard about these things before but
you explained it all so beautifully that I now understand why it is done. I
intend to print it out and keep it with my embroidery things.
Dear Susan,
You must have noticed that the spelling of many words in Europe change
depending on language translations.
I use the spelling of S.F.A. Caulfeild and B.C. Saward (notice the ei are
reversed in the name!) in The Dictionary of Needlework, published first
in 1882 in London.
Dear Friends,
Mike has very kindly edited the video of me making a tally in bobbin
lace, and placed it on Utube for your edification. I look forward to
your further comments

Actually this has made me curious too. What's the difference between a
rolled tally and a humped tally?

I tried to find this and failed until I realised the link was doubled, so
with this single address you will be able to see a very nice clear

Thank you David.

Success! Thanks to the help from lace friends and neighbors, the
elusive box folders have been found in the US. If anyone is
interested, I will be glad to send the information on where to find
them and how much they cost.

Thank you David, for your version of a tally!
I am still waiting to see someone do them like I do... It would seem
that there are infinite ways to do a tally. I confess that for leaf
tallies, I do them slightly different than I do for square tallys.
Still, I think for relatively new
Hello! Thank you David for the tally video! As much as I like the economy of
movement of the Brioude way, I don't think I could hold the bobbins between
my fingers because of the permanent crook in my repaired my right ring finger.
Your pins plastic seem like helpful tools to me so will
Many thanks, Helen!
I noticed that the humped tallies leave an opening in the back,
whereas the rolled tallies do not create one; that is, the
cloth-stitch background remains even.
I wonder if anyone has a graphic or line drawing of each type of
tally? It would help me learn how to make them
Well done video Mike and David! A very interesting approach and I like the
way you use the pins for support on the side threads. Haven't seen that way
before. I am going to give that a try. A lot of hand action, but whatever
works! Though not so much more hand action than normal lacing.
I work
Hi all
As some of you know I've been working on a book Suffolk Lace and the

Congratulations Nicky - that is a huge weight lifted off, can tell from way

Can you tell us about the book - it is historical I think - photos?
patterns? hardbound or ? - where and when can we get one...
(just wondering!)

Hi all
I know I'm certainly enjoying watching these videos on YouTube. What I
need help with isn't leaf tallies, it's the square ones. I have YET to
make one and have it look right. What are the secrets?
Thanks. I'm still a baby when it comes to making lace so I need all
the help I can get.
Sister Claire,
It looks to me like you have some lace super stars in the making. I hope they
keep up the good work. Please be sure to share their progress with all of us.
Thank you,

Hi everyone
In the current issue of Die Spitze there are quite a few items about leaf
tallies, some nice patterns that have them, a Cluny style with plaits, leaf
tallies, and raised tallies on half-stitch blocks; a Scheeberger 'UFO' with
flat tallies, and an Italian Guipure with rolled tallies.
With the square, it helps when starting out to use temporary pins to support
the pairs as you make the square shape, and again when you end. The end pair
that are passives should be worked into the rest of the lace before the end
pair that has the weaver, so that the tally isn't pulled out of
Hello David
A big thank you for the video of the leaf tallies. Brilliant idea to use
pins to keep the tension on the outside bobbins.
I will certainly try this on my next leaf, and as you said in the video,
after a thousand I should be perfect.

I make the square tallies, and then work in the end pair that does *not*
have the weaver. When I first started making tallies, my biggest
problem was that they collapsed after I began using the weaver again.
So... I put a knot at the pin and then continued. The knot didn't
show, but I
