Hello everyone
I have uploaded to Flikr two photos of a Flanders edging I made from "Het
Lassen" . They are in the Photostream section also. Although of a circular
edging, I hope they compliment Bobbi's diagram - the lace beginning and end
were done exactly as she describes.

Hello All! Taking a break from Rosaline, I made a sample of Flanders ground &
was delighted with my sneak peek! While the lace was resting, I unpinned the
first inch & thought I hit the jackpot. Alas, my mistakes were revealed the
next day—ugh. My Rosaline “circle of fishlets” wasn’t good

I have said these things before, but this seems a good time to repeat. There
is a lot of confusion about how to use the terms "Flanders lace" and Mechlin
lace. From my study of laces at the Art Institute of Chicago, and from
Santina Levey's LACE, I have learned that during the
diagram and photograph are kept as close as is
possible within the constraints of the book format.

I would recommend Barbara Corbet FLANDRISCHE SPITZE, 2011. It is in 2
languages -- German and English side by side in columns on each page. She has
invented her own beginners' patterns which contain all the basic elements of
Flanders. Her explanations appear quite good.

Flanders lace meshground is called five holes ground.

Dear all,
I think many of you practice Flanders lace.
The very old Flanders lace didn't have a gimp.
Since when the gimp was introduced in the Flanders lace?
Does anyone know exactly?
Most laces started with the 5-holes meshground.
Valenciennes and Mechlin used the 5-holes ground.
Why
After my notes a real Gimp around the motives in Flanders lace wasn't before
mid or end 19th century. It was in reviving of a few the old laces named
together as Flemish laces.
Before that time was the whole stitch ring.

Your question requires a long answer. Partly there is a problem of what the
terms mean When modern lacemakers think of Flanders lace they usually think
of the lace Ilske described in her email: a straight lace with 5 hole ground,

I always thought that the reason Flanders is regarded as a necessary
preliminary to Binche is the clothwork, not the ground. Flanders, Binche and
Val all have similar ways of working the cloth parts, largely because of the

Don't be afraid to try a different kind of lace. What one person claims is
'hard' goes along just fine for another person. People have been known to not

mind. You are probably
