Dear Arachnids,
Does anyone know of lace venues/shops/groups/musea in Cuba, please? We hope to
be visiting there shortly, but are unable to find any information on this
subject. Also, if there are lace makers there are there any shortages of
materials for lace making?
Happy lace making,
Joepie,
Hi All
I colour my hair, well the hairdresser does, but I use the time that I am
sitting about to read books, check the next pattern I am -panning to do.
I use this time as planning/thinking time. I always take some lace
oriented thing with me. I have even been known to sit and tat!!!
Dear lacers,
I need some advise on how to sit and where to make lace.
I keep having problems with my back and/or neck. I first sat in my settee
with pillows in my back. Now I'm on a chair.
What is the best place to sit? Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Happy lacemaking!
Ilse D.

Hello Ilse,
The best place to sit is the place where you are comfortable making lace.
But as a rule, I would say that you need to rest your back always on a
surface (back of chair or of a sofa). You must feel your back relaxed.
Usually, after making lace for a while, especially if it is a new
Hi Joepie
When I was there eight years ago for my daughter's wedding the only lace I saw
was the garter I'd made for her. Although the tourist areas were affluent
enough and the hotels well stocked with food there were shortages of just about
everything. ie the hotel's hairdresser didn't
Hi Ilse and Arachnids,
Normally I sit on a straight chair (dining room or kitchen type) with a
small support pillow in the small of my back. The flat pillow is on a stand
at a comfortable height and pulled well into me so I don't have to lean
forward too much. Try to work out which the most

Hi
I use a 'kneeling chair' when my back is bad, this enables your knees to take
the stain rather than your back. I bought the cheapest one I could find
several years ago and it has been fine.
The rest of the time I sit on a dining chair with my stand pulled as close as
is comfortable so that
Ilse, you have hit upon one of the most vexing issues about making
lace! I am certain that the answer depends on what kind of pillow you
are using, and how it is used. And, what works for one person may not
work for another! (Consider, for example, how much closer a thin person
could sit to
I agree with Clay - we have our son's young cat, who brings his favourite
toy for me to throw at frequent intervals, and now puts it slightly out of
my reach, so I have to get up.

in Wales. Comes with an attached
I have just made a third small strip of lace with picots around the outside
edge, each one getting tidier than the last of course. I dont do them very
often but I have found that on the first strip I have caught one of the loops
over two pins instead of one, closer to the end than the beginning

Agnes I would probably say take up smoking (LOL) so we

David, having seen the videos of you conducting, I'm going to go out on
a limb here and suggest that all of that arm exercise you get is
actually very good for your back muscles as well, and your back is
strong enough to handle the stress you put on it while making lace!

Well I dont feel so bad now. I did undo a couple because I thought it had
caught but they were fine:-) So today I take the pins out of the last one
and hold my breath:-)

Thanks for posting this! I am in CA and will not be able to make it out to
the event. Will there be any sort of publication or web images associated
with the opening? I love to study laces even when I can't see them in
person.

Hi all,
I do a bit of teaching so have multiples of my teaching prickings as well as
my personal prickings.
I use laminated paper prickings so the majority of the prickings for storage
are A4 or smaller but the fan prickings are slightly larger than A3.
