Hi Arachnids
I have been asked a question. âWhich laces have the footside on the left and
which on the right?â As far as I know only the English laces Bucks Point and
Bedfordshire have the footside on the left. Even the English Downton has it on
the right. Does anyone know of any other laces

Hi Alex and fellow Arachnids,
As far as footsides are concerned, they can be worked on either side. I have
always learned that traditionally English laces are worked with the footside
(straight side) on the right and continental laces with the footside on the
left.

Perhaps it has something to do with the encoding characters or the

Where did the original Bucks and Beds lacemakers learn? If it was from
Flemish fleeing the Inquisition, or Huguenots escaping French persecution,
might they change the location of the footside to differentiate English lace
from the lace they made back home? Although that doesn't play out,
England isn't the only country that drives on the left. Â Japan is another
place, and Malta as well as the US Virgin Islands and there are others.

Where are the footsides of the laces of these countries?

I remember having a discussion about this when I first started making lace and
someone suggested that somebody simply put the pricking on the pillow upside

Hi all,
I thought that the virus had not affected people on the Arachne list,

I don't know whether there are other laces with the footside on the right, but
here's another possible reason -
what if they copied patterns by rubbing on the 'wrong' side? Then they'd have
to turn the rubbed pattern over to work it, which would flip the footside.

Are you assuming a single point of introduction, during which a mistake was
made? I would assume there were many points of introduction and contact, but
one country, or possibly several, regularized to left footside while most
regularized to right footside.
Also, I would have to disagree with
Although many of the history books quote Mrs Bury Palliser in her theory
that the Huguenots and Flemish introduced lace into England, the dates
don't tie up - see the primary evidence in books like the late Dr John
Yallop's History of the Honiton Lace Industry, and there is also
evidence to
I am not sure that I buy the heel ball theory, because wouldn't that
result in the footside switching every single time the pattern was copied? In
that case, wouldn't every country make lace with footsides on the right and
left interchangeably? I think the fact that they were copying with
I was thinking that the *first* pattern somebody had was copied via rubbing
from someone else's pattern, which can be done in a comparatively short time.
Once the lacemaker is at home with their rubbed pattern, they can make
subsequent patterns by the more accurate but more time-consuming
Hi Arachnids
Thank you for your interesting answers regarding footside but they are aimed
at possible reasons for the right as opposed to left. I will rephrase my
original question. Has lace ever been made with the footside on the right in
any countries apart from England?
Happy lacemaking

The Ipswich laces from the late 1700's in the US have the footside on the
left , like Downton or Continental laces. The pillow was a large bolster
pillow. At this point it is unknown who the first lace teacher was in
Ipswich, Massachusetts. Many of the immigrants came from various places in
I always understood that it was thought the difference came about due to the
English worker watching someone work while they, - the watcher, - was
standing in front of the pillow - so of course, the footside would look like
it was on the opposite side to what it really was.
