For paintings of the garments worn at the time LePompe was published, see this. Look about 1/3 down the page.
Both the 2nd and 3rd and 5th are from LePompe, the oldest known pattern book, dating from the mid 16th century.
The bottom row is from BOBBIN LACE LESSON-CLOTH STRIP.
The Circle at right is another way to learn the basic stitches.

Winding bobbins using a string with a ring attached.

Here is a lady using the palms up method of holding the bobbins to work leaf tallies on a bolster pillow. Interesting.
Liz - what I posted yesterday was a link to an album of photos on facebook. If you aren't on facebook or a member of that particular group, their software might not be willing to show it to you. I posted the link in our section LINKS.

The email I just received give the link to here, Lorelei, but your message and query are not here, and I cannot find them in the Main page or forum. I am not good at searches on computers, unfortunately, so I cannot put in my bit about the lace and instructions you are asking about. Grr! computers - especially Windows 10 and it's updates!!!!!!!!
Maybe the letter will appear later on, as I have noticed things have been slow showing up lately for some reason. I have found messages on the site, and got the notification the following day!
Don't stress about it - I LOVE the site, and won't be leaving, ..!! I know these glitches are Not your fault and can't be helped.
Happy Mothers Day to you, and all Mums out there.
Jenny, if I didn't know, I'd likely not spot it. You must be so relieved - and likely a bit more confident now, too.
Wow! I wish I could repair things that neatly. Very well done. If you don't mention it, no-one will ever know.
Thanks Lorelei & Kate. When I take the pin out, I think it will be hard to find. I am reasonably happy with it & will gift it to whom it was intended. It is the second one I have done, the first one was not Square so I redid my pricking and did another one, only to cut it. I really was not looking forward to doing another yellow one, it is my least favourite colour. Next will be a blue on for me. I know my friend will love it, and probably never use it as intended. It may end up as a doily and will only be washed by hand if ever.
Thanks for the links to the threads. I think ordering on line for threads will be much cheaper than ordering fabric. I know people that pay horrendous prices to bring in fabric from OS
Hi Jenny, well done that’s a really ‘fix’. Kate
It looks quite good. Success.
I've had a go at fixing it. The best I can do.
