I thought Torchon was worked face up, but I work most other laces face down as
there if often a need to end a portion of the lace before starting another
section, such as in Milanese. Â I find that my laces that are face down have a
flat look to them when turned over, such as Russian tape lace
Remove the centre pin and use it as the pin that is directly below centre, (if
you've got ground pins surrounding the spider) and tension carefully at this
point. If you wait till you are further on and taking the pins out you won't be
able to tension out the hole.

I was always taught that Torchon is worked wrong side up, if this is the case
then presumably the raised bit needs to be pushed down when the lace is taken
off the pillow, or any ends (from joining new threads in) sewn through when the
lace is taken off the pillow.

And, as Tamara was my first Guru of lacemaking, I was a solid 'flat' spider
maker!!!
