Storing lace
4 Replies

I have some lace pieces that I want to put away for now.  Some are too big to lay flat.  Obviously it's not good to fold them, but what do you use to roll them around that won't damage the lace…Continue

"DMC Ecru is a good match for Bockens  1/2 bleached linen.  If there is a weaver's guild near you, you could ask if someone would take a consignment to weave some plain weave linen for you.  Although my days of weaving singles…"

"I don't think it is that bad. I would not cut it out. Just make another project of some sort and strive for better tension. My first attempts were much worse. I think of these practice pieces as stages on a journey. If the first ones have…"

"I like Kathleen"s ideas to keep it and use it for reference, unless you need that piece for something now,  All first pieces should be kept to see how far you have come."

Elizabeth Ligeti replied to Trinity's discussion Needlelace Bookmark in the group Needle Lace
"Is your dislike of that centre section possibly because it is a much more Open stitch, where the others are more solid-looking? As a first piece, I think you are being a bit hard on yourself! If you started off doing perfect work - what else would…"
