Re: [lace] Lassen question

It's called point de racroc, and is quite a different technique--it doesn't overlap the two pieces at all but sews in a thread between the two pieces of net that follows a path that connects the two pieces as if they were one piece of net. In lassen, the sewing thread whips around the bars of the

"racroc" maybe, I think? Yes it does have a different name. ok, found it in Alex Stillwell's dictionary. Point de rac(c)roc or Point de raccroche On Mon, Jun 17, 2019 at 1:26 PM jviking @sover.net wrote: > Is this the name that is used for the stitching to attach bands of > Chantilly together

Re: [lace] Lassen question

Is this the name that is used for the stitching to attach bands of Chantilly together to form the really big shawls? Or does that have another name? Thanks, Jane in Vermont USA where it is gorgeous! jvik...@sover.net From: "Bev Walker"

Re: [lace] Lassen question

Then I wasn't far off the mark after all. Thanks for the background information. Lassen and lace are "tied together" in origin. I like words. Bev in Shirley BC Canada On Mon, Jun 17, 2019 at 8:57 AM Gon Homburg wrote: > The etymology of the dutch word ‘lassen’ is: > From Middle Dutch
