I am working a piece of lace that on a corner needs one of the inner pins to
be worked into at least six or seven times. As this is more times than I
would normally use one pin hole does anyone know of a neat way of doing this
to avoid bulkiness or holes.

Hi
What lace are you working?
Torchon, Russian braid?
It would be helpful and then perhaps we can all come up with an answer for

Hello Ann
Yes, use the Bruges pivot pin method.
The first time you work that pinhole in the usual way (by working
through the last passive in cloth stitch, twist the workers and stick
the pin). On the next and subsequent times you come to that pin work
until the last pair of passives, twist
How sad and sudden. It was with great sadness, I heard the news of the
passing of this incredible lady. While a student of hers I decided to
go to Tonder for their festival and week of instruction in Hoya. It
was one of the most delightful experience of my life and I have Gunvor
to thank for
Brenda thank you for your detailed explanation.

Presumably the traditional bobbin is one of the continental styles with the
rounded bottomshowever, I've successfully used ordinary spangled
Midlands bobbins for Tonder for years. As for the pins, I use the same
pins as I do for everything else - fine lace pins that I use for Bucks.
Tonder
Traditionally, the bobbins used in Denmark are the long ones with spherical
knobs at the ends, usually beaded. However, you can use any continental or
East Midlands bobbin that you like. Since there are virtually no sewings in
Tonder lace, it's perfectly fine to use spangled bobbins, if that's
I have googled and saw lots of pretty lace, a few bobbins and no
definitions on the size of the pins.
Generally Tonder uses very fine, long pins. I'm no Tonder expert, but I
feel the finer pins are better because you use very fine thread and you
often close your pins (ie, C-T-T, pin,
