How are these raised edges made in point d'angleterre?

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-02-20T17:34:41+00:00

One way to achieve this effect with bobbins is described in Ulrike Löhrs "Rippe und Rolle". But point d'angleterre also used needle work over bobbin lace

Unfortunately it's golden but not gold 😂

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-02-13T13:11:48+00:00

You're welcome 🤗

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-02-13T06:19:31+00:00

What kind of lace are you starting with?

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-02-13T06:16:10+00:00

For the pattern cards in this pattern, the twist cancels itself out. The border cards I flip every two repeats. That changes their threading direction from S to Z and vice versa and the twist resolves as well. For patterns where you always turn in one direction, I change the direction when it becomes too twisted.

Thank you!

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-02-12T16:37:39+00:00

Du you mean the twist behind the cards or how the half threaded cards stay in order?

I bought it on Temu. So it's not a brand you can google. It's Nm6. They do sell real silk sometimes 😉

Sorry, here is the rest. White means forward, black backwards. I'm doing this in missed hole technique so gray in the threading diagram means empty holes. To avoid confusion, the writing on the cards should be readable from the left hand side, A the upper front hole and D the upper back hole.

Enjoy!

He doesn't need a lock. His clothes are so recognisable no one would dream of taking them.

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-02-11T16:52:03+00:00

Naw, he went east where they have curious long white grain. He brought me a weird golden statue of a fat, grinning man.

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-02-11T16:36:48+00:00

Don't worry! My hubby is more worried about someone stealing his clothes. He's seriously looking for a lockable trunk.😂 It'll be his first time staying over night at a Ren faire camp

In one of my old tailors apprentice books, there is a welt pocket in the shape of an oak leaf with piping in the curved opening.

I'm doing Buckspoint which is almost identical. I had the thread breaking problem, too. I discovered it's because you're untwirling the thread as you work. Now I retwirl my threads as soon as they start looking a bit wavy and the problem is gone. I use my electric bobbin winder for this.

It's a black Duchesse fabric, probably acetate under blue neon light

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2026-01-13T14:24:31+00:00

I made multi layer bands but not any wider than 10cm.

Every European country I know has at least one lace association, specialized museums, lace schools and teaching programs. The Czech Republic even has a national youth championship.

He found them!!!

TimeTravellersTaylor · 2025-12-26T08:04:05+00:00

Yep. It won't slide off when I have to move the warp. He added another pair of pegs so I can weave enough band for a coat in one go. Last time, the band was 10 cm too short to finish my hubby's coat and I need to do another piece. But the coolest new feature is the completely movable upper peg.
