Storing lace

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

"I agree, Lorelei,- seeing the improvement as you progress is very satisfying. think - if you were perfect the first time, there would be nothing else to strive for. How boring!!!! :) To me, that is half the fun of starting a new craft - or type of…"

"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…"

Trinity replied to Trinity's discussion Needlelace Bookmark in the group Needle Lace

"Ok, you've convinced me. I'll finish off the edges and borders and keep it as is. Elizabeth, I had intended for the center section to be more open. I'm unhappy with it because it's so uneven. I didn't really get…"

Loretta Holzberger replied to Trinity's discussion Needlelace Bookmark in the group Needle Lace

"I agree, you should finish it and keep it. I think I see what you dislike about your center section. It looks like you started out with what is known as a pea stitch, and switched to a triple buttonhole stitch. Maybe next time, you…"

"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…"

Kathleen Minniti replied to Trinity's discussion Needlelace Bookmark in the group Needle Lace

"You should keep it; it will help you see how far you've come after future attempts. Make another sample of that ground, and use this one as a reference for what you want to work on improving. Keep them together once finished to show…"

Lagartija replied to Trinity's discussion Converting a logo to lace in the group Needle Lace

"You could put the logo in the center in plain white, then extend the wave elements and repeat plant elements in ecru. That way you would highlight the " official" logo as designed while getting a bit more creative with the other…"

Sally Olsen replied to Trinity's discussion Converting a logo to lace in the group Needle Lace

Trinity replied to Trinity's discussion Converting a logo to lace in the group Needle Lace

"I've been playing around with the design in my graphics program, and I REALLY like the effect of an ecru background. With using color, it wouldn't need very many different stitches to be effective. What stitch would you use for…"
