Thanks Alex
I've been doing this ever since I started lacemaking, except that I'd never
heard of twisting the
two threads together - even without that the joins are unobtrusive in cloth
stitch or cloth-and-
twist areas, but it doesn't work in half stitch. I'll try the twists next time
and see

Hi All
When I join a new thread in I do it the same way as Alex and you cannot see
the joins.

Hi Arachnids
I think this is another case of when using your own bobbins do what you like
but when using someone else's respect her wishes. Personally I never tie onto
a bobbin, it is so much hassle getting it off. Traditionally the English lace
workers would keep working until the bobbin
Hello All! Finally caught up with my tatting friend by phone last night. She
lives in eastern Ohio teaches tatting in both Ohio Pennsylvania. She
commented that not only were knotting shuttles highly decorative (jeweled,
inlaid, carved etc), they were often given by gentlemen as a token of

Hi All,
My understanding of a Josephine knot is both halves of a square knot with a
single strand space inbetween.
I bought a long shuttle a long time ago with a view to trying Filet Lace,
looks like fishing net with filling stitches similar to what I have seen in
other styles of lace books.

I sent this to Faye, but for all of you...
Knotting, as far as I can tell, and from what I have been told, is just
a half knot. So you are making a loop, wrapping your shuttle around your
thread and pulling tight. That is it! Or maybe wrap the shuttle a couple
times to get a longer knot.
For years, I searched for good knotting instructions. Then a book was
published (which I reviewed on Arachne) containing instructions and lovely
photographs.
Go to your local library and ask for the Interlibrary Loan Service. Order
the following book:
18th Century Embroidery Techniques
