  • Bobbin Lace You Need a Pattern Known As a Pricking
    “Dressing” a Lace Pillow © Jean Leader 2014 pricking pin-cushion this edge should be a selvage if possible — the other edges lace in progress should be hemmed. cover cloth between bobbins and lower part of pricking cover cloth ready to cover pillow when not in use The pillow, a square or round piece of polystyrene (preferably high density) about 40 cm (16 in) across and 5 cm (2 in) thick, should be covered with a firmly woven dark cotton material. Avoid synthetic materials as these will attract dust and fluff. Cut a piece of material so that it is about 8-10 cm (3-4 in) wider than the pillow all round. Make a hem (with an opening) round the edge and thread either tape or elastic through it. Fit the cover over the pillow and pull the tape or elastic tight. (If you’re in a hurry just pin the cover in place.) This cover should be removed and washed occasionally. You will also need at least two cover cloths about 40 cm (16 in) square made of the same sort of material as the cover (they should be hemmed so no bits of thread can catch in the lace). One of these is placed over the lower part of the pricking and the bobbins lie on top of it. The other cloth is placed over the whole pillow when it is not in use so that the lace you’re working on stays clean. Making a Pricking In order to make bobbin lace you need a pattern known as a pricking.

  • Hedgehog Lacers 20Th Annual Lace-In
    Hedgehog Lacers 20th Annual Lace-In September 9-10, 2017 The members of the Hedgehog Lace Guild invite you to attend our annual lace workshop. We have a wonderful group of teachers offering a variety of classes. Classes 100 Chrysanthemum — All levels ~ Sylvia Fellows Chrysanthemum Lace is a tape lace that has some elements resembling Brugges Lace. It is characterized by the "Split Spider" stitch on one side of each tape. The "petals" formed can look like a chrysanthemum flower, a popular motif in this lace. It uses, usually, only 8 pairs of bobbins or less. 101 Milanese Lace — All levels ~ Louise Colgan Milanese Lace is characterized by special decorative stitches that become integral features of each design. The creative nature of this type of lace makes it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interpretation. A variety of projects will be offered to cover all levels of Milanese techniques. Students will be given the option of using colored threads to make their own unique pieces from the selected patterns. A solid foundation in basic Bobbin Lace skills is required. Diagram-reading skills are also recommended. NOTE: Continuing “Louise” projects are also welcome. 102 Tatting — All levels ~ Randy Houtz There are several methods and applications for tatting split rings. Class time will be spent examining a different technique and/or application: the basic split ring; woven split rings; adding a ring to the split ring; and adding rings to both sides are examples. Prerequisites: Students should be comfortable with tatting rings, chains and joins. It is helpful to know other tatting methods but not necessary.

    Book Appendix Glossary 12-02 Powerhouse Museum Lace Collection: Glossary of terms used in the documentation – Blue files and collection notebooks. Rosemary Shepherd: 1983 to 2003 The following references were used in the documentation. For needle laces: Therese de Dillmont, The Complete Encyclopaedia of Needlework, Running Press reprint, Philadelphia, 1971 For bobbin laces: Bridget M Cook and Geraldine Stott, The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches, A H & A W Reed, Sydney, 1980 The principal historical reference: Santina Levey, Lace a History, Victoria and Albert Museum and W H Maney, Leeds, 1983 In compiling the glossary reference was also made to Alexandra Stillwell’s Illustrated dictionary of lacemaking, Cassell, London 1996 General lace and lacemaking terms A border, flounce or edging is a length of lace with one shaped edge (headside) and one straight edge (footside). The headside shaping may be as insignificant as a straight or undulating line of picots, or as pronounced as deep ‘van Dyke’ scallops. ‘Border’ is used for laces to 100mm and ‘flounce’ for laces wider than 100 mm and these are the terms used in the documentation of the Powerhouse collection. The term ‘lace edging’ is often used elsewhere instead of border, for very narrow laces. An insertion is usually a length of lace with two straight edges (footsides) which are stitched directly onto the mounting fabric, the fabric then being cut away behind the lace. Ocasionally lace insertions are shaped (for example, square or triangular motifs for use on household linen) in which case they are entirely enclosed by a footside. See also ‘panel’ and ‘engrelure’ A lace panel is usually has finished edges, enclosing a specially designed motif.

  • Tom Fisher, Julie Botticello, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom
    Tom Fisher, Julie Botticello, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom. [email protected] 3D Representations of Heritage – understanding the Leavers lace machine through documents, ethnography and animation The lace industry in the East Midlands of the UK was a major feature of the local, and wider, economy from the invention of the ‘Leavers’ process in 1813 to the end of mass manufacturing of lace early in the 21st century. The industry grew out of innovations in machine knitting technology that date back to William Lee’s invention of the stocking frame in 1589. In 1816 it was exported to northern France, under conditions of trade embargo, where the industry grew in the towns of Calais and Caudry. In both Nottingham and northern France it generated parallel industries in machine manufacture and textile finishing. Three firms survive in the UK, and one of these is Cluny Lace in Ilkeston, near Nottingham http://www.clunylace.com . Although the industry has shrunk from approximately 2600 machines in the first decade of the twentieth century to the 16 that remain at Cluny Lace, this important part of the region’s industrial heritage does survive. Working closely with the company’s owners over some years, researchers at Nottingham Trent University have conducted research since 2009 to understand this heritage and effectively represent it as the important element in the region’s identity that it is. Collaborators in this work have included the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as well as Nottingham’s City Museums and Galleries, which has some examples of Leavers machines in their Industrial Museum collection.
