beginner bobbin lace series, video 2 whole stitch cloth stitch

[@freshoffthehook904]

Now I understand what all my students were talking about when they said I was going to fast while trying to teach them crochet. It really does look like magic when you don’t know what you’re looking at! 😅

Luckily here on KZbin you can adjust the speed of the video. 😅

@@GaliciaBee Oh the last thing I need is to disappear into another semi dead art but now that I actually understand some things the barriers of self control are crumbling. Im still a little lost on translating the notations into actions. Though I have the feeling that much like crochet this hobby has two brutal learning curves. The basic motions and the pattern language. Between being gifted an ashford spinning wheel, attempting to completely restore my antique singer treadle, learning historical sewing, crochet, and cross stitch… I really need to figure out how to delegate some specialties.

[@serinitysmith2309]

​@freshoffthehook904 my desire to get into historical sewing brought me here. I can try to make historically accurate lace inserts 😂

[@freshoffthehook904]

@@serinitysmith2309 😭 Same I may just have to accept I can’t do everything though. Not if I actually want to wear anything I make before I am 40.

My unfinished crochet project are really hating on me right now 😂😂

[@TaylorTheOtter]

@@thedoctor5991 same... I have a really cool cardigan that I almost finished but I couldn't figure out how to design the collar/lapel/whatever the neck bit is called on a cardigan. And it's been there staring at me from the other side of my room for about half a year now... Actually probably more... Oh gods...

[@Amaia_Devon]

😅 have been saying the same thing for all the crafts I do 😂

[@BethC458]

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen yet. Now I have to go buy new hobby stuff. 😂

[@GaliciaBee]

I can't be held responsible...😂

[@PaulaCostaMachado]

Thank you for your tutorials, they are verry clear. I learn a lot with you. because i'm starting now. I´m 60 years old portuguese woman that was going to Vila do Conde a town near Oporto verry well known for the bobbin lace works. I try to learn with a teacher but she is vacancion at the same time than me! So I start looking for another way of learning and found our tutorials. Thank you once more.

[@sarahcoletti6946]

My brain FINALLY fully comprehends! I used to do stitches like this with Embroidery Floss that were really wide. Thank you so much for this thorough tutorial! 😃💖

[@sarahcoletti6946]

Also! What brands do you recommend for getting started? 😃🧵💖

[@GaliciaBee]

You can use anything you like to make lace! 😃 Different threads give different ‘looks!’ It’s great to experiment!

[@sarahcoletti6946]

@@GaliciaBee Thank you! Also, I should elaborate on my comment because I just realized it doesn't really make sense, lol. I meant I'd create super wide bracelets with the Embroidery Floss. Not that it was wide Embroidery Floss, lol! 🤣💖

[@elliejones7397]

I've seen this so many times and wonder how the weaver(?) keeps tracks of the bobbins. The bobbins being in pairs makes more sense now.

[@mauimedows]

Just starting classes on this and your videos are so helpful!!! Please continue with the tutorials since some of us are here to learn the craft. Love your videos and thank you 🙏

[@dobrinhristov3940]

In addition to being relaxing, this is also incredibly satisfying, and it feels like you are playing an alternate version of a keyboard with the level of dexterity you have.

[@GaliciaBee]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@janemellowes674]

Lovely , clear tutorial. I am definitely going to dust off my lacemaking pillow and remind myself how to do this. Thank you 😊

[@GaliciaBee]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mrdiazviera]

you sound so relaxing ... ooo this is very good 👍 it took less than 10 minutes, and I'm fallen asleep

[@GaliciaBee]

Glad you liked it!!

[@steffychante7854]

Bonjour, je cherchais à apprendre et ne savais pas du tout par où commencer, je crois que je vais pouvoir oser essayer 😊

[@azulbernal1051]

Finally someone being really clear! thank you so much for sharing!

[@ddmarie4239]

The sounds are so relaxing. I came across you on tiktok and I felt so relaxed that I had to find your KZbin. I have to listen to asmr every night to go to sleep and the wood clanging together was heaven. Your very talented with what you do and it's amazing, it looks so complicated you have a gift xx

[@GaliciaBee]

I'm so glad you find this soothing & that it's helping you fall asleep. :) I will be going live here on KZbin soon as well, I hope you can catch a live with me!

[@karennissen2934]

I have wanted to learn how to do this from the moment I first started collecting bobbin lace. No one I’ve ever met knew how or anyone else who knew how to do it! So a huge thank you for making these videos!! Finally, I’m getting somewhere! 💜 Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 😁👍💕

[@GaliciaBee]

Welcome!! 🤗 So glad these videos are helpful! 💕

[@denisepettit8534]

I appreciate your talking! I need to watch but to also have someone explaining things is so helpful! I do enjoy no music so to hear the sounds of the bobbins is the music so to speak. Many thanks.

[@GaliciaBee]

I'm so glad you're enjoying this series! Thank you!!

[@amyLiz7]

Got this down! Can’t wait to continue!

[@GaliciaBee]

Can’t wait to see what you create! 😄

this is quite therapeutic; have you considered doing asmr?

[@jamiewalter2506]

I was about to say the same thing this sounds so satisfying

[@GaliciaBee]

Thank you! haha Yes, I have been told I should be doing ASMR too. Maybe in the future!

[@neilstephen6761]

Excellent video thank you

[@brendajohansen-falgren8699]

It would be GREAT if you would do a tutorial on Milanese lace braids .some of them are too complicated for me to follow from mu Milanese lace book. Seeing them done would help alot. And I could go back and watch again when I got lost. The archway braid is an example.

[@michellelong9134]

What kind of thread are you using? It looks like floss rather than cotton thread?

[@leanne2418]

I need lesson 3 🤣 pretty please lol xx

[@GaliciaBee]

Coming soooon! :)

[@alicehenderson5445]

Very beginner friendly but now I feel like ima acquire another hobby along with the10 that I have lol

[@GaliciaBee]

Sorry, not sorry. 🤭

[@marangelitorres]

Hello! I am a beginner and would like to know why you twist twice at the ends. What is the reasoning behind it? Also, how do you know by looking at the pattern which pins have one or two pairs of bobbins? Do you have tutorials on how to read patterns? Thank you for your videos!

[@GaliciaBee]

Hi! Do you mean at the end of the rows? You can twist once or twice at the ends of the rows. It helps keep the row in place. Does that make sense?

[@brandysmith-n3g]

I'm not understanding this yet but I'm willing to learn.

[@do4x4]

Hi I am just getting started learning bobbin lace. I purchased your beginner patterns but you don't say how much thread to load on each bobbin unless I missed it.

[@GaliciaBee]

Hi!! So sorry I didn't see your message right away! Generally speaking you would load 3x the length of your pattern. 😀

[@simonwanclips]

I’ve always wondered how that’s made

[@coastymom13]

I am just learning this beautiful art. I have a question when following a pattern how do you know what stitches to use the cloth stitch or the half stitch? Also on the more complicated patterns how do you know which way to go and how do you know how many Bobbins ‘s to start with? I’ve watched tutorials. I have an idea on how to do the stitches but I’m not sure how to follow a pattern.

[@GaliciaBee]

Hello! Usually the pattern will indicate which stitch to use & how many pairs of bobbins. On complicated patterns it can depend a bit. We hope for clear written instructions, but when there aren't any, we often need to examine a finished work (or photo of a finished work) to determine how to make a piece. I like to write in the top corner of my patterns how many bobbins I use, so that when I make the pattern again I don't have to guess. The number of bobbins can vary within a piece, but generally speaking, to begin a piece I will look at how many pin holes are along the top of the pattern to determine how many pairs are needed. :)

[@coastymom13]

@@GaliciaBee thank you very much. That is helpful

[@CorwinFound]

I'm going to keep watching later vids but I'm imagining doing this with thicker/different materials to create belts and such. Is that viable?

[@GaliciaBee]

That would be beautiful! :)

[@amberrhoden7763]

Are there quieter options? This is the first time I'm hearing of this hobby

[@sarahnichols9639]

Hi Sarah, I purchased the beginner patterns that accompany these videos and I'm trying to figure out if my printer glitched. The whole stitch pattern calls for 9 bobbins to start or 6? Or can you do either? Because in the video you use 6.

[@GaliciaBee]

6 pairs! :) If you used 9 pairs, you would need to add more pins across the top at the start.

[@georginagriffin7822]

I noticed you twist the color being woven across. Do you twist the outside bobbins also? (The white pair on the left after weaving the working threads, dark teal.)

[@GaliciaBee]

You absolutely can! I usually do, in order to keep some tension there at the end of the row.

[@amiekim]

My cats would find that way too fascinating.

[@GaliciaBee]

🤣

[@leanne2418]

How do you get it off when you have finished does it not fall apart when you take out the pins xx

[@GaliciaBee]

Nope, doesn't fall apart. :) Stays together because of all the twists in the thread.

[@patrycjakapkin4911]

so going back as in row 2, you do the exact same movement in the same directions? Not a mirroring of the movement? You didn't exactly go slow "returning" with row 2, and i think that's what i saw?

[@GaliciaBee]

Exact same movements. 😊

[@melissabeers35]

Why do you twist 2xs at the end of each row?

[@briannawilliams1484]

How would you finish this when you are done?

[@GaliciaBee]

You can just tie knots at the end, with each pair of bobbins. :)

[@SarahSyawal]

question, how to close the stich at the end?

[@GaliciaBee]

Hi! You can end it in a variety of ways! The simplest way is to just tie a knot. ☺

[@shamirankhosho1667]

Its looks like macrame same right?

[@GaliciaBee]

Nope. 😊 In macrame you make a series of knots. I’m not making any knots in bobbin lace, but strategically crossing the threads.

[@ricklopez7927]

hey my friend my name is Rick lopez I was wondering where you get your pillow that you working because I have looked all over the web for a pillow so that I can learn this new craft and if you could give me a website that I can a pillow that I can try doing this new craft if you wouldn't mind sending me a website to look up . thank your friend rick lopez

[@GaliciaBee]

Hi Rick! It depends a little bit which country you are in. I can give you a couple of ideas based on your location. 👍 It’s also possible to make your own pillow! It’s not very difficult if you have access to a few supplies.
