Hello there. Today I’d like to share a few lines about Advanced metallic-thread lace and variations, something that has been going round in my head for weeks.
If you make a mistake, undo. Period. Don’t push on ‘to see if it sorts itself out’. It never does If you fancy, I’ll leave Intermediate lace in jewellery.
Good light changes everything. If your eyes hurt after a while, the lighting isn’t right.
What you will need¶
You’ll need this, nothing more, nothing less:
- Flat pillow.
- Thread of suitable weight.
- Practice pricking.
- Loaded bobbins.
How I do it, step by step¶
Don’t skip any. Everything links in this craft:
- Review the basic crosses before starting.
- Follow the pricking step by step, no skips.
- Keep constant tempo through the piece.
Where it gets sticky¶
These are the stumbles I see most often:
- Changing tempo mid-exercise.
- Not marking the start.
- Pulling too hard on the outer pair.
Variations¶
When you have it under control, try these:
- Combine with other motifs for richness.
- Document your version in the studio notebook.
