I take the trouble to post these links. I am not going to bother going to
some 3rd website to get a tiny url. You have to copy the entire string of

If you are asking a seriously historical question, then my answer is a little
different. I have seen that edge in some of the oldest laces that I've seen
in the museum (Art Institute of Chicago). Many of the LePompe laces show a
winkiepin or "pin after 2" edge. But since I haven't seen the e

I have heard the term "pin after 4" edge but not "pin under 4" edge. Pin
after 4 is just another way of describing the "sewing edge". I first heard
the term from Flemish speaking lace maker who taught at Kantcentrum in the
1980s. She gave some workshops in the U.S. also. My impression is t

I think Diane is right. If the bobbins get too thin, like coat hanger
diameter, they are hard to pick up. All lacemakers would have to grow
fingernails long enough to help the picking up.
I also would find the "stickiness" of magnetic attraction quite annoying.

Jeri thanks for posting that link. I just spent an hour looking through it
all. There are some really spectacular pieces, but also some disappointments.
In many cases I just wish the photographer had gotten closer to the lace.

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
One thing my local group used to do to deter light fingered visitors was to
cover the entire display table in transparent plastic (either cheap plastic
tablecloths or drop cloths for painters) and then fold the hanging edge of
plastic under and clamp it down. The result is not 100% secure, but rem

style I would say early 20th century. I've seen metallic laces from the 1600s

It is the gimp paths in particular which lack the flavor of the really old
metallic laces.

There is another reason to be cautious about BIZ. A largish minority of
people have a strong allergic reaction to it. One of my sisters and I both

LePompe 1559 is a pattern book, the earliest, and it is easy to see what the
