Hi Dianne and everyone
the cushion bit sounds like the ones referred to as pumpkin seed -
leaf-shaped tallies with the effect of ridges at the edges. Check out
the French methods (e.g. Cluny lace) of making leaf-tallies. One way
to achieve this appearance is to tension outwards firmly, when the
Hi Bev
Thank you. I think that is what she was referring to.
Kind regards

Hi Dianne:
I went through this a few years ago. I saw the pumpkin-seed tallies and liked
them, too, and now I make them all the time. The thread path is, of course, the
same as with any other way of making tallies; it is only the method that
creates the distinctive look.

Thanks, Tamara! That's a lot of useful information--I appreciate your taking
the time.
As I said to Sharon, I certainly still have a lot to learn! :-)

Hello Brenda, Sue and everyone else.
Thanks for the comments on continental way of making leaves and tallies.
Probably just me being silly, but when I tried both methods in thick
string, I could not tell why they were different.
So I am off to my pilow and have another go.

Hi Agnes,
The tallies aren't different. The techniques are different but the end result
is always the same - the threads follow the same path. I suppose some
lacemakers find the continental technique easier because you shouldn't need to
shorten any of the bobbins. I can make good tallies

Thanks to all who helped me get myself sorted on the leaves.
Managed to do two, then realized I should have brought in two new pairs,
only added one, so am now undoing the leaves again.
Good learning curve, I suppose.
Should know how to do leaves by the time I finish my small Beds circle!

I think you may be thinking of the continental method of crossing the
two centre bobbins, two twists oon the left hand pair, cross the middle
two then two twists on the right hand pair but whichever way you handle
the bobbins it's down to tensioning the two outer passives correctly.

Hi everyone and Sally who asked regarding:
the crescent and circular shaped tallies on page 105 of Bridget Cook's
Practical Skills. Have any of you tried these?
I've tried the crescent tally ! They are fun to do. Definitely helps
control the shape if you incorporate picots on the outer curve.
