I love your videos. They’ve been so helpful as I’ve been teaching myself bobbin lace. I know you’ve gone over in others videos a little on how to read patterns and coloring them in. I was wondering on patterns that come with no instructions how do your figure out how many bobbins to use and what stitches to use.

Thank you Louise! You've inspired me since I "bumped into" bobbin lace by chance. My learning journey is slow (and far too late in life!) but thoroughly enjoyable, and something that keeps me going through tough times. Thank you for your clear and thorough videos. A question? Maybe you could give us newbies some things to consider when working to progress... I've been muddling around and now hit on the idea that I'd like to make a bobbin lace wedding garter for a friend. I know that I can probably produce something in a haphazard fashion, but I'm wondering if there is a better path to follow to become really confident, and creative! (other than some of the books for beginners) What do you recommend we get proficient at, and in what order? Wishing you a very blessed Christmas season from Portugal 🇵🇹 🙏 ✨️
@LouiseWestLace 8 күн бұрын
@GeraldineMFarinha-Ferreira thanks for the question, I'm intending talking about design at some point in the videos. I think you perhaps need to look out for the garter pattern that speaks to you, then break down what techniques it includes. If there are techniques you aren't familiar with, look for an easier pattern to practice the techniques and build on it. A case of finding what you want to aim for and then working out the steps to get there. That will be different for everyone depending on your previous experience. Any particular techniques let me know.

@LouiseWestLace Thank you Louise! I haven't found any garter patterns with instructions as yet, and someone recommended that I use a torchon sampler and extend it to yardage. I'm thinking of giving that a try 😊

@@GeraldineMFarinha-Ferreira very often garters are often an edging that has been mirrored and joined with rings down the middle for ribbon/elastic.. sometimes it’s not too difficult to do this if you have a favourite edging.

I am fascinated by lace making, I can understand why lace was pricier than gold now. Amazingly complicated and beautiful. I do like the long videos. I’m very much a novice, I own just 12 pairs of bobbins so I’ve only practiced with grounds, spider and edges. Saving for a better pillow and more bobbins now.

Thanks for this tutorial. I have ordered the pattern and am thinking of making Christmas tree baubles and some for card embellishments. I have made lace but feel I need your videos to follow. In the setting up of the outer trail I think I could use a coloured thread for all the passives and not just the gold threads. I have even been thinking of using derwent ink paints to colour in the star and buds.

@@sued.5698 Its great that you feel adventurous enough to experiment in this way, hope to see the results. I am just filming the Christmas tree bauble off this year's Christmas designs, but it will be a little while before it is available.

Does your bead covered bobbins add much weight for my bobbins don't have holes to spangle and I like the look and thought might give my bobbins some extra weight?
@LouiseWestLace 2 ай бұрын
I havent weighed them before and after beading, but they dont seem to add too much weight, they do make the bobbin thicker and slightly chunkier, but that can be an advantage if the bobbin is thin. Some people just use them for the gimp threads, for the heavier thread and also to be able to spot them in the sea of bobbins. Hope that helps.
@denisepettit8534 2 ай бұрын
@@LouiseWestLace Thank you Louise. My bobbins are thin so glad to hear the beads will be beneficial and of course pretty. I was thinking I might figure out a way to use the beads at the end to hang a spangle, all in good timing. I have other WIPS to get accomplish first.

This seems like an important skill! I'll keep on practicing this as I learn more about the techniques in general. Practicing both my stitches and moving the pattern as I go. I have a very small window where I can comfortably work before the lace is either too far away or practically in my lap, so I might have to move even quite small patterns around a bit on my pillow. Following your guidance I did manage to move my simple practice lace a good few centimeter around on my pillow though, and it still looks fresh! Looking forward to trying a more complicated pattern and doing the same process.

Believe it or not... I'm gonna try with with knitting wool. I've been looking for something out of the ordinary to use various silk and wool yarns I bought this year, after having unplied them to single strands (steaming not only removes the kinks, but 'cooks in' the twist needed to keep it from being simply fluff). There are many ways to knit lace, but this pattern here looks like it would be rewarding - even if a failure, to attempt.
@LouiseWestLace 4 ай бұрын
@Norfolk250 no reason why you can't, as long as the yarn is the correct thickness for the scale of the pattern. You just have to experiment with enlarging the pattern. And be mindful that the single strand may well not have the strength of plied yarn when it comes to tensioning. Good luck, would love to see the results.
