Hello Spiders
Before I go through trial and error I would like your opinion about applying
half stitch in flanders motives. If possible at all, what are the pitfalls?

Hello Jo and everyone
I think half-stitch in Flanders would be ok for a small area, too much and
the design could look odd (but - we suit ourselves!). A Binche piece I'm
working on uses half-stitch in discreet places of the motif, and I like the
effect.

Jo,
A number of old Flemish laces I've worked or seen in books have small
areas of half stitch. In my experience the challenge (pitfall?) is making a
neat transition between the surrounding cloth stitch and the half-stitch
areas. I don't believe I have seen half stitch by itself (i.e., an

If you go to my photos in Webshots, there are two or three pictures of
Brugge, the Flanders piece designed by Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billiet.
They are near the end of the folder. This piece has three clouds in
the sky, and each is worked a little differently. Actually,

Don't hold your breath. I'm not Speedy Gonzales.
Even if successful it won't be as stunning as Clay's project. It was worth

The only thing I can contribute is that I know it is possible. The pattern
called APE has a section of half stitch, and I have seen some floral motifs
with half stitch leaves. I'd be interested in seeing color coded diagrams
showing how you handle the part where 2 pairs enter at the same pin,

That piece is absolutely amazing! So many variations. I looked at the little
decorations in the cloth stitch sections all over the piece, and how the leaf
area of the trees was done, and your 3 clouds. It is beautiful.

Hi Jenny
Most of your identification seems to be spot on, the only ones I would disagree
with are:

centre and joined with sewings all along the length of the candy cane.
Amber - Marina (should that be Martina?) is
Dear Jo,
I do not profess to any real knowledge in this area, other than a
beginner's, but if you look on p. 49 of Tierisch Flandrisch book by Inge
Theuerkauf, you will see that the foot of the teddy bear is done in half
stitch, with gimp and ring pair. It is not diagrammed as such, from

I agree that terminology about bobbin made tape/braid lace is a problem. I
wish we could all come to an agreement, but I think this will be an ongoing
problem.
In the U.S. tape lace usually refers to bobbin made tape lace. And braid
lace usually refers to a straight lace of the guipure
Hi Jo
The only pitfall I can think of is organizing the half stitch in the
motif. Remember that in Flanders the worker in each row changes and
becomes a passive while another worker takes over. If you can manage to
do that type of change over then it should be fine. Experiment.
