Hello Spiders
Im busy with the Palm tree from Milanese Lace: an Introduction. I did
the first one-and a half leaf, did other things for a few month, then
finished the second half of the second leaf. But...
I forgot I did the first leaf with top sewing and did the second with edge
sewings. I don't

Could you expand on this, please? How did you use the lace (and what
kind of lace) in a chessboard, or a clock for that matter?

Hi,
A group of us are planning a trip to England in September. I would be
interested to know of any lace days during that month as people are
interested in buying supplies during the visit. If any of you know of any
events then please let me know dates and locations (city/town is fine for

This about like my ''bobbin tree.only I use wide-mouth mason

Never saw a reason to change. In fact, when bobbins wound, I drop the
thread in the jar, screw on the top and keep it clean and handy.
Hy,
A very nice lady made some beautiful pieces of lace: little torchon mat insert in a
metallic ring, add beads in the middle and little little bobbins at the end. It looks
very pretty. Sometime she put a little note from the heart. You could make them for
Christmas and for all occasions.
I got some Finca cotton thread from Biggins the other day and I think it is a
beautiful thread to work with, so easy to keep a neat tension. Has anyone
else tried this thread? I think this is a thread I shall be using a lot. I
believe Biggins are importing it from Spain and I've certainly not
Improvisation is a good idea, and the cardboard box idea is a good one.
I've never made or bought a bobbin tree, but have a tall plastic tupperware
jug which I use when I need something to hold bobbins. It is straightsided
and fairly stable, and can be covered with a cover cloth. One of the
I got some Finca cotton thread ... the other day ... Has anyone else tried
this thread?
Yes Rikki. In Spain we know it very well. And I have used it myself.
Specially for learning, as it is very cheap. But it breaks easily. There are
other better threads than this one, in my opinion, and in the

Way back in my early lacemaking days (10-15 years ago!) I found a large scale

Makes one wonder how many other tricks lacers have improvised to ease the
tasks. It seems that when we discover a neat thing, we tend to think that

Yes! I'm a fan of Finca too! Here in Sydney, Australia, our lace supplier
started getting it a couple of years ago - hope she continues to stock it.

wondering if anyone uses the square European ones I have seen on some

As to square bobbins. They are my favorite and I know Tamara uses squares
