LACE MAKING
l love making lace because it involves my head and hands when itcomesto making lace don't thing there are rules but just people experimenting what works for them. Making lace is a learning process that each and everyone one of us most work through. Anyone doing lace or been in my lace classes will know l love disposable bobbins andlove using them in lace making. If l had to wind my bobbins l would never get my lace done. I never have to touch my tension with them, they work like a dream in my Brother machines. Alot of bobbin thread on a big spool can sometimes be made very fast when winded which gives us many knots and can cause upper thread breaks and stopping and starting. This is frustrating when you look at the time one puts in for lace making. I love my spun polyester bobbins Nebs they are knotless and I get no dust on my rotary hook which many know dust can shorten the life of your machine. I love to use water soluble vilene for my lace making but the hooping of it is very important. I hoop it taut so there are no wrinkles usually just one layer. It is made for high stitch counts it will not stretch in any direction is not a film so it disolves quickly in hot or cold water. Water soluble vilene is as strong as a cut away ideal for my customers to use for there lace making. With my lace no one really looks at the bottom only the top so sometimes if it is a metallic I might match top and bottom just for looks. A very dence lace design l find needs 2 layers of water soluble vilene.
