Why not just come up with a wide insertion by removing the edgings and matching up the pattern to make it as wide as you want it?  It would allow for a more uniform look unless you want the sewing as part of the design. 

The patterns in the Beginner's Guide to Bobbin Lace do not have edgings like an insertion from what I could tell, they look more like the edgings on the beginning bookmarks.  They appear to be about 4-9 inches wide with no actual length listed.  The patterns are marked for a pin distance of about 1 cm in the ground for what they are calling a double knitting yarn if this helps any.

Helo Lorelei,

You have just brought to mind a scarf that I started before my DH passed away, all things went out of my mind then, so I can now finish that, it is strips that I will have to put them together. If I have put a photo of it  , thank for the reminder

How about making up your own by taking several torchon insertion patterns and working strips, then sewing the strips together. You would only need to be sure all the patterns were printed out for the same size thread.

Beginner's Guide to Bobbin Lace by Gilian Dye & Adrienne Thunder has a couple of scarf patterns in it.  I believe they are Torchon but am still too new at this to differentiate the different types of lace.

Roughly a dozen patterns, most relatively simple.  A design-it-yourself torchon mat template.

Thanks Ioli...
you guys are fabulous... glad I found this group. I wondered why it took me so long to research lacemaking. I had no idea that modern lacemakers existed.

I just clicked on the link above to the antique pattern library and it required no password.  When you get to their page you will see a list of booklets and books.  Next to each icon for the book will be a list of pdf files to download to receive the entire book.  The problem with these sites is that we don't know what we are getting until the whole thing downloads, and some files are quite large.  I spent hours searching through their list for relevant titles and I think I found the ones most useful for beginners.  Very few of their books are devoted solely to bobbin lace.  But there are some interesting ones.

Please talk to Mark/Tatman about how to get the link without the code.  He understands code, I don't.
