Just flip over a stool 😂

Made some more lace yesternight :) I'm following a set of lessons by a french lacemaker and I feel like this one was much simpler, since it was about learning a new stitch. The pattern is supposed to be for thicker thread, so maybe I'll make it again either with more descending threads in the middle or with thicker threads, I guess. But I kind of like it this way anyway ^^ Also this one and usually other coton ones do tend to have the top right corner lifting this way. Is this normal? It's usually fixed with a steam, but I'm a little surprised...

Hello! I’d love to take the temperature of all y’all with regards to matching bobbins! I’m relatively new and haven’t been able to create enough patterns to have a preference but I have lots of bobbins of different types and color gradients. Like 150 bobbins. Most of them have a matching pair or nearly matching pair but some don’t.

I’ve noticed that the last pattern I did, my matching pairs got really shuffled around so it was like it didn’t matter that they were ever together at the beginning.

Anyway, what is best practice? Are there strong preferences for entire matching sets? Or just pairs? Or neither? Should I even bother threading them continuously to a matching bobbin?

Thank you!!

I've finished this piece a few weeks ago and finally took the time to set the fabric in and finish it :)
Despite seeing all the little flaws in there, I really like the finished look :)

When making strips of lace, I know one can sew strips together to make a larger piece of fabric but I’m wondering if there’s a way to make strips of fabric that when joined to new strips, it looks relatively invisible? Basically I’m wanting to make a much wider lace out of smaller segments. Is this a thing? If so, can you share terms with me to Google to find more info about it?

Hello! I was wondering if there was a particular book recommendation for bobbin lace y'all have. I'm particularly interested in techniques and creating your own patterns.

I keep these reusable bags hanging in my closet and I’ve been learning basic Idrija. Zoned out for a minute and then I had this haha
