I absolutely love how you explain things... nice methodical and uncomplicated way! Thank you!

[@DraculDantes]

It’s a lot simpler than I thought, though certainly very time consuming. Thank you for sharing all these videos, I’d love to take up sewing again.

[@pamroberts581]

Excellent tutorial! I am expanding my skillset with your help. Many Thanks.

[@catherinehawkins3211]

Such extraordinary work… love watching you work. So interesting to find out how this works.

[@dawnrobinson2213]

Thankyou Mathew. I am very interested in learning how to do this type of lacework. I've bought several books and am ready to go!!! I've done 2 types, the foundations stitch (Amelia Ars) and couching a thread(s) around a pattern. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. Your teaching technique is excellent.

Thank you very much for your needle needlelace series! It's the best tutorial-type source of information on the subject in all of KZbin! It's been very helpful to me in learning some needlelace techniques. How did you learn this craft?

[@themodernmakermathewgnagy215]

I'm so glad it has been helpful! I have learned by reading books about 18th and 19th century styles of needle lace as well as looked at museum pieces. There are some paintings which showing people in the 17th century making needle lace and looking at how they are shown helps understand some things about working methods. There are a few surviving lace design books from the period but they don't really tell you how to execute. They are fantastic for choosing a period design though. All of that, with a LOT of trying and failing, has helped me learn. If you look up Valkerie1000 here on KZbin, you will find some pretty fantastic tutorials as well. Valkerie makes WAY better needle lace than I do!

Muchas Gracias! Estoy el tercer profesor en mi familia...mi abuelo, Jon Gnagy fué el primero instructor del arte en la televisión por los 1940s. Puede ver sus videos también aquí en KZbin. "Learn to Draw with Jon Gnagy." El método con que enseño tiene origen con el!

Çok faydalı oldunuz 💐

[@rachelnadeau3468]

Is this like Burano lace? Your videos are so helpful. Nice to hear explanations in English. Thank you

[@themodernmakermathewgnagy215]

All the needle laces share similarities, but this is older than Burano lace. This is a style called "cutwork" in English, and Punto Reticello or Punto in Aria in Italian. The techniques are also called Amelia Ars Lace (a 19th century version) It comes from the late 16th/early 17th centuries and is almost always made of white linen thread.
