You will probably hear several quite different points of view on your
question, but here is mine. The first problem is that you nearly always don't
get as far as you want to in a first class. So the major problem is to choose
something that students can actually finish. And the class must b
Hi Vicki
Welcome to the group. I expect you will ask questions we have answered
before, but someone always seems to come up with something new in the answers
and we all gain from them.
Have fun and enjoy your lacemaking

I have a "demonstration" pillow that I only work on when in public. It has been
in use for many years. It has a simple but pretty torchon pattern and it has
several yards attached. My bobbins are strictly utilitarian - noone is the

Hello Dianne!
What a wonderful surprise hearing from you. Last I heard from you was just
before your move to the States. Had to retire
from JE as I came down with Rhumatoid arthritis...I could still do the

As you all know I am very new to lace & have had many lavers helping me. I
would like to publication thank you all. Plus would like to tell you about a
wonderful experience I just had in Yorkshire, England. We flew over for about
15 days with our dear friend Janet & her husband. While there
In our case, since we do heritage demonstrations and try to depict the

I have been approached regarding some lace classes for one of the
weaving guilds in our area. I've been making lace for the last 18
months. I would have no problem with teaching the basics. There are
two ladies in town with way more experience then me so I'm may just
suggest the weavers
I will eventually find the closest guild, I have been intrigued with lace
for a number of years now. I find myself drawn to it and love the history
behind each kind of lace. I know I will learn a lot from all of you! Thank
you again, at the moment I am not working on a lace piece as I need to

Many years ago when I studied traditional Japanese embroidery, I was advised
by my teacher to use a piece of
plexiglass to shield the embroidery whenever I was not working on it. That

I am naturally very left handed but, like Jacquie Tinch, I use either hand
to place pins. For example making picots, with left handed picots I place
the pin with my right hand while twisting and holding the bobbins in my
left hand, for right handed picots I take the pin in my left hand, twi
I don't know what the local guild is, but I do know that Clay Blackwell
organizes the most wonderful lacemaking week at Sweet Briar College,
Lynchburg each summer. I'm sure Clay will be in touch with you to tell you

A warm welcome to Jolene & Vicki.
Please tell us where you are from, even if you just say nearest big town
